    “Journalism is better when it’s backed by live markets” is some grade A dystopian bullshit 🤦😬

      I’m surprised they didn’t jam in some AI or crypto or other crap that has absolutely nothing to do with journalism.

    Polymarket really believes they make reality, don’t they?

      It’s wild.

      They act like they’re some sort of revolutionary industry, but what do they actually produce?

      Nothing.

      They don’t make anything. What they do, is move money from those who are wrong, to those who are right, while significantly disrupting reality by involving financial incentives where they have no business being.

        For even greater accuracy, swap out wrong with dumb and right with lucky.

          For even greater accuracy, swap out lucky with insider knowledge.

      They want to take ALL our money. If we won’t buy whatever crap they’re pushing, then they’ll just cheat us out of it.

      Spend your money responsibly. Support your neighborhood drug dealers and prostitutes. They work hard for their money.
