I have invested 21Ṁ into yes. Somewhat related: I don't think these kind of markets are bringing a lot of value to this site. It seems to mostly be an attempt to take advantage of the mana you get from the unique traders bonus. I think people should not abuse the system in this way.
@harfe But prediction markets are all about finding ways to abuse the system!
I agree this type of market is annoying, but I think prevention of them should be done by clear rules from the Manifold admins, not fuzzy social norms.
@harfe Also note that as long as they're in the right group, I believe you can set your homepage to ignore them.
@harfe @IsaacKing I'll be more careful with my group that so that people who wants to ignore this market can ignore it going forward
@harfe You can do that just by creating markets with obvious outcomes. "Will Joe Biden still be President in a week?" "Will the Sun rise tomorrow?"
@BRTD The issue is not just that the resolution is known, but that they set a limit on how much you can trade. If you ask "Will the Sun rise tomorrow?", one person will bet it up to 99% and then other people won't have much reason to trade.
@Yev Actually that doesn't happen: https://manifold.markets/BRTD/will-kamala-harris-still-be-vicepre
@BRTD Well, 6 traders is still a small number. Imagine how many people it'll take to reach 98% if each can only bet M$1: /IsaacKing/this-market-resolves-to-yes-max-pos-38e0e0167b99
@Yev hmmm somehow my tag get voided and they automatically assigned me the politics tag...
I'll work on fixing it
