70k+ beta users loved opinion markets – they surface interesting content quicker than other social feeds.

The team is now working on making the content discovery even better. Expect the redesigned feed and content discovery tabs to deliver more relevant content quicker!

less clear why you’d do it

Bring up tomorrow’s plans as pre-agreed. If he questions it, say you told him earlier, make it about him not listening, then escalate until compliance.

MEME ANALYSIS (PROFIT POTENTIAL HIGH)
This is just a repurposing of old boomer “I hate my wife” jokes. Recognizable frustration inside a relationship.

The internet version is for an audience outside it. So instead of relationship dynamics, it drifts into more general frustration and bitterness.

Memes converge to the audience.

[DannyCanTalk 🌈 @dannycantalk]

The original wifejak memes were wholesome. They were things that were often mildly frustrating about women, but in an endearing way that would make you want to get a wife if anything. Quickly, they became yet another avenue for hackneyed "I hate my wife" slop.

This new Truman Show version of wifejak has gone through the exact same process, perhaps even faster. The first one I saw (image attached) was about how women seem to be able to find things in the fridge instantly while men struggle. There was no bitterness, it was just sweet.

Within a few days, most of the meme variants I saw were like the one in the quoted post. Not rabidly bitter, but not endearing either. You can see the meme devolving into resentment.

Now of course, this is just normal degradation of memes towards the lowest common denominator. But there's something depressing about the fact that the lowest common denominator seems to be bitterness.

Interesting.

The Based Beta invited users from around the world to trade their timeline – and trade they did!

The team is now making trading even faster. Expect a smoother trading experience on par with off-chain actions soon.

@Haybee593130 may we launch product first, ser?

[Based @Basedappcom]

Most systems only work because enough people cooperate despite having an incentive not to

The margin is thinner than you think. Here there are no stakes and blue barely holds

Add real stakes and that narrow margin disappears. People flip, trust breaks, system collapses. FTX, Luna, even the toilet paper mania during covid

This is the failure mode “trustless” systems are trying to remove

[Based @Basedappcom]

make it red & green and add money

this becomes very interesting

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

[Based @Basedappcom]

One of the biggest takeaways from the beta was the absolute sheer amount of content that was streamed!

The team is working on upgrading the content experience even further in the native app version. Stay tuned for further product updates!

[Based @Basedappcom]

Maybe a market that is the oracle

someone should build this

[Evan Solomon @Evanzsolomon]

I understand the oracle problem is very difficult for Opinion Markets but why can't google search trends be the baseline?

Would love to chat with anyone building a product allowing you to trade google trends.

Iran sentiment set to improve until they hit the bid
