Nothing in front of the blueballswall answers the headline at all.

Save yourself the click.

What? I didn’t get a paywall so I assumed there wasn’t one sorry

All good! I don’t blame posters, I blame the media for hanging onto the model.

Yeh it’s a sign-in for a free trial wall. Alternatively

Weird, I didn’t even get that, but thanks for the archive link

Try Firefox or Mull on android with uBlock origin set to medium mode. Most of the popups and paywalls never show for me.

Do keep in mind this can break some sites and need you to change settings for those sites.

Especially on Polymarket, such a scenario could get weird fast. Polymarket runs on the blockchain—bets are made with cryptocurrency, and official decisions about who wins are made by the holders of a crypto token called UMA. If there is a disagreement over what occurred, UMA token-holders can vote to determine the official outcome.

But ignoring that, the basic premise is that they’re not prepared for Trump’s openly telegraphed promise to try to fraudulently claim he won no matter what and that they likely intend to use the idiocy of these shitty toys as evidence in support of their attempted coup.

This article is US politics/betting news, not technology news.

Why is it posted here? This is not a US politics community.

I posted it because of the crypto connection, also posted it in c/news
