At the end of January, I will read (at least) the top 5 blog posts in this market.

I'll resolve the market to the one I think is best, where "best" means something like "Is this the kind of blog post that I'll look back on in a year and think 'Yeah, I'm glad I spent the time to read that post'?" So I will be mildly inclined against posts about current news, since I don't think I'll care much about them in a year. (But posts about current events can still win, e.g. a post that convinces me that nuclear war is imminent and I should move to the countryside).

If you read one of these blogs, your taste is probably similar to mine, so go with the posts you like most.

(Why is ACX not on this list? Because I'll read all the ACX posts anyway, and ACX would likely win the competition if I put it on here.)

Thanks for the suggestions! My thought process in resolving the market is here: https://lettertok.substack.com/p/resolving-januarys-manifold-market

@TheodoreEhrenborg Do you think this market produced good suggestions for you? I suspect they weren't particularly well thought out suggestions - I know mine weren't because I was blindly guessing what sorts of things to submit when I noticed the market had very few entries. Maybe next month's will produce more better results.

@jack The suggestions were acceptable but not amazing. But making good suggestions is hard because you had to guess what I liked based on little information.

I do appreciate your blind guesses, so keep them coming.
