Summary
Polymarket is paying online creators to hype their platform’s big wins — but they weren’t telling viewers they were being paid, or even calling themselves partners. Creators, including a college student, admitted it felt like fast food ads — staged to make the platform look irresistible. The Wall Street Journal uncovered the hidden pay-for-play tactics, prompting Polymarket to promise an audit and transparency overhaul. This episode’s lesson?
