According to the vote, currently Ethical is 6-0 over not ethical

predicted YES

@firstuserhere unfortunately you can't like comments via the api so I'll have to hire a bunch of people to vote not ethical on my alts

@ZZZZZZ then it makes sense for you to bet on not ethical too

predicted YES

@firstuserhere Yeah, in fact, it would be even more genius if they were all voting ethical initially so people would feel like ethical would be a sure thing, and then at last minute, I would unlike that comment and like the other one.

It is not ethical, because no one can 'blantantly copy' a market. Something that does not exist is neither ethical nor unethical. Is it unethical? No. Is it ethical? No.

This is an interesting idea, I never really thought about it..

predicted YES

For context, ethical won 11 to 3 in @DesTiny's market

predicted YES

@ZZZZZZ this market is open for a lot shorter, but it says ethical 5-0, soo

predicted YES

Also, Duplicate is an official feature of the site so obviously the site endorses it

Comment 2: Not ethical

Comment 1: Ethical

predicted YES

Can you clarify what you mean by "You may vote using the two comments below"?

@ZZZZZZ Hmm I'm wondering the same. After all, it's a copy of @DesTiny's https://manifold.markets/DesTiny/is-it-ethical-to-copy-markets?r=Zmlyc3R1c2VyaGVyZQ which was resolved YES

predicted YES
predicted YES

@firstuserhere Remove it from the description if you have no idea what it means

bought Ṁ10 of YES

@ZZZZZZ I made 2 new comments for ethical and not ethical for people to vote

predicted YES

@firstuserhere OHHH. I see.

bought Ṁ40 of YES

It's more fun that way and probably brings more traffic to the original market creator's market.
