Prediction markets changed the game.

Before: World Cup had fan tokens, concept plays. Actual football fans traded sentiment.

Now: Every exchange runs betting pools. Crypto natives = full degen gamblers.

The shift? AI + prediction market shills flooding timelines with match "analysis" — zero ball knowledge, pure noise. People who can't tell offside from a corner kick are now posting hot takes because AI can generate anything.

We went from niche alpha to mass-market casino. The space got dumber, not smarter.
