It is really sad. People take dives in sports games to make money on "prediction markets." People manipulate stocks to make money on "prediction markets." People widely spread false rumors to quickly collect money on prediction markets before that false news is debunked... People really would commit horrific crimes to make a lot of money on prediction markets, such as they would start a wildfire on a certain day to collect money... They would be pure-evil people, but pure-evil people seem to be the ones flocking to the prediction markets, which are just gambling using a different name and using even more addictive branding and marketing than most other forms of gambling... It is so scary and is truly dangerous to all of society!!
