Stop. Posting. Polymarket. It's shit if it ever is correct it's because it's not being manipulated at that specific time

At this point I feel like it's astroturfing.

I dub it "induced astroturfing".

E.g. something artificially popular becoming organically viral through sheer critical mass. It is said, therefore it is believed (and reposted).

...And it seems reposters don't stop to consider "Should I really amplify a blue-checkmark Polymarket tweet?"
