The only way to fight this is to make a new bet on polymarket to profit off the odds that this journalist is killed by the gamblers in polymarket.
I was thinking it was just to not use polymarket but dang... I guess I was wrong.
nah, "vote with your wallet" can never work! You can only contribute to the problem more until it can't go any further!
(i am not serious about any of this. a sane society would reject the existence of these "businesses" swiftly. if only...)
Vote with your wallet works if everyone agrees with you...
And the amount of people that love gambling makes it clear that most people do not agree with me.
