@xlr8harder Agreed. They’ve all pushed the envelope for far too long. The prediction markets are, imo, an exceptional scourge on society. They allow betting at 18+ & are pretending they’re not gambling so they don’t pay taxes. At least the sportsbooks pay state taxes
@NewsHour Gambling is gambling
Calling it a contract on whether Dodgers win or lose is identical to betting. It’s an unregulated cancer by calling it “prediction markets”
beyond just their volume, kalshi is inflating their user metrics
i noticed live chatter count only moves in increments of 5 so i took a look at their android app code
they literally have an amplifier called “boost_strength” that multiplies the actual number of people chatting
@BoredElonMusk It is exactly apples to apples but ok.
To appease your insatiable desire to move the goal posts, Kentucky also is fighting predictions markets and it’s a very red state
@BoredElonMusk If it’s true that this is weaponized enforcement by someone, explain to me why Utah came to the same conclusion? They offer no forms of gambling and it’s a republican state. Totally undercuts your entire point here
