#Polymarket has been paying online creators to post deceptive videos that show them making lucrative bets on the prediction market,
according to a new investigation in the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ said that it analyzed 1,100 videos about Polymarket
and also viewed instructional materials that the company provided to creators.
Many of those videos were reportedly filmed on “near-perfect copies” of the Polymarket website,
while featuring trades and winnings that were not real.
The creator videos were then amplified by a “social-media army” deployed by a marketing contractor.
