  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

"Journalism is better when it's backed by live markets" is some grade A dystopian bullshit ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

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.

"Markets" do not represent human reality.
