Polymarket gibt an, mit der Wahrheit zu handeln, aber seine Social-Media-Feeds sind voller Unwahrheiten

> The company, which has nearly two million followers across its social accounts, has amplified unproven claims from the Trump administration and baseless conspiracy theories. It misleadingly suggested, for example, that Tim Walz, Minnesota’s Democratic governor, had “declared war” on President Trump, stoking concerns online about a civil war.

> Its posts, presented as authoritative news, have reverberated across the internet and fanned misunderstandings. In one post, Polymarket implied that Zohran Mamdani, then running to be New York City’s mayor, would win the election with the help of rigged ballots where his name appeared multiple times, contributing to a widespread and misleading conspiracy theory that he was cheating.

> Polymarket omitted a necessary detail: candidates’ names commonly appear many times on ballots in New York City elections because they can be represented by multiple parties.

> Polymarket and Kalshi often cast themselves as tools for truth-seeking by supposedly removing subjectivity, focusing instead on concrete outcomes sometimes backed by millions of users. To buttress their claims, the sites have struck promotional and data-sharing contracts with groups like The Associated Press, CNN and the MLB.

Their contracts with news orgs like AP and CNN are going to increase their credibility, to all of our detriment (except the degenerate gamblers making a few bucks from winning a bet that nuclear war has started, I guess).

Have fun with your winnings in the wasteland.

Polymarket is filled with MAGA

Polymarket has an NFT vibe to it.

anyone who says that its an „efficient“ market is a mark. a patsy.

This thing needs to shutdown. Sooner or later some people will place a bet when Democrat Senators or Republican Senators are going to die and some „smart“ bettors will think it’s okay for them to „accelerate“ the event…
