It's backed by Jared Kushner, so expect some level of MAGA manipulation.


the social feeds being full of misinformation is a separate problem from the market prices tho. the prices themselves are set by people with money on the line which is a strong incentive to be accurate. the comment section is just randos posting opinions with zero stake. conflating the two is lazy journalism imo
