"Journalism is better when it's backed by live markets" is some grade A dystopian bullshit ๐คฆ๐ฌ

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.
so is this a poly sub?
I don't think gambling on everything is good or cool
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.
Wanna bet on it?

Cool, now I can get my Nazi newsletters AND the over/under for make-believe bets all in one dumpster!
Substack has journalism now? I though it was some blog for self important assholes.
"Markets" do not represent human reality.
I have just stopped participating in society. I just gotta make it like another 25 30 years.
We're just going full ferengi now, aren't we?
Don't forget to bet on how many views your post is going to get!
