#2Not surprising if true. The industry is full of immoral douches who think they are above being regulated, so of course it's not surprising when they behave unethically.

#4> a multi billion dollar casino with rules that can change and you have no option to legally fight it
Why is there no way to legally fight this? Is polymarket too de-centralized? Or incorporated in a jurisdiction where that's not feasible? Or are "you can't sue us" ToS actually enforceable here?

As a non-US-resident (and full disclaimer - someone who believes gambling should be in the same regulation bracket as smoking), honestly it looks like the US have collectively lost their minds with Polymarket.

#6zero sympathy.
how did we went from being all vocally aware that HFT is a scam that we will never get into, to falling to the lowest denominations of scams just because you can be the patso?

Please, tell me more about these “crypto values”. Are they values like, “no regulations,” “rug pulls,” “funding ransomware”?

Despite having a lot of scammers and bad actors, crypto does have an underlying ethos that attracts a lot of people. And that ethos is one of removing intermediaries, robust cryptographic security, open and unrestricted participation for all, and letting people have as much financial freedom as possible.
A lot of us still fight to push those values forward.
