The Manifold team is underutilizing its userbase and ought to delegate more. Users are cheaper than employees, more informed & passionate than Fiverr freelancers, and more effective than Manifold employees putting off the task until they get around to it.

Admins have already taken steps in this direction. Examples:

  • Establishing the Trustworthy-ish role

  • Automatically awarding M250 per referral, M5 per shared link

  • Rewarding reports of exploits

  • @SG awarding bounties for achieving virality

  • @JamesGrugett awarding bounties for feedback

Which actions will the Manifold team take to offload labor on to users?

Criteria:

  1. Action is taken by a payrolled Manifold employee

  2. Action is executed via fixed system or continual action, ex ante facto

  3. Action is initiated (or newly-qualifies) after 10/4/23

  4. Labor is performed by users who are not on Manifold payroll

  5. Labor opportunities are open to any eligible user

  6. Any eligibility restrictions are equitable, concrete, and clearly stated

  7. Users are compensated (e.g., in mana, $, status, power) for their labor

Resolves equally to all accurate, specific reponses. Edge cases will resolve at half the % of others. I will bet on this market, but consult other users before resolving. Closes in late Feb., as of now.

@oh this market looks like a linked multichoice - only one answer can resolve YES (or multiple answers fractionally, adding to one). Guessing that's not what you intended!

@chrisjbillington Independent didn’t exist when this was created, iirc

@oh Ah, you are correct. Looks like unlinked markets came in about a week after you made this.

My intent re: equitable eligibility restrictions is to enable a more diverse group of users to shape the site, not just those who are good at earning attention or mana.
