someone in the normie group group chat dropped a Polymarket screenshot 

but she also thinks it's a 'voting' thing

we're simultaneously so early and finally here

Some normies I know used Polymarket prediction maps instead of the actual elections maps

was it the case that they didn't know they're different things or did they understand how polymarket worked?

Nope, they used it as an illustration for “how the elections are going” on ig

The bear in me told those folks to take those stories down 🫠

Bc I don’t condone spreading misinformation

are you talking instead of results maps or polling maps?

I’ve seen them used as both

Anything based on betting shouldn’t be used for sharing elections-related alpha imo

most people don't know how polling is done either
most people don't know how the USD or its rails work

this sort of bias to smack crypto out of their hand because the fucking peasants don't know is much more about your bias than their knowledge of the thing

Normies were using these without knowing what they actually were

I’m in pursuit of using proper resources for proper tasks 

If ppl don’t know what the hell a polymarket prediction map is, they shouldn’t be using it as a source of info for others, period

typical allergic reaction based 'misinformation' labeling

prediction markets were consistently more accurate than the polls 

you aren't in the pursuit of truth
