OK but you know that you're seeing an ad. These are ads that are pretending to be users just posting their experiences.

Creators are supposed to make it clear that it is add. Usually they add a #ad to their post. But many creators don't understand the rules and don't correctly mark their post as being sponsored.

It is reasonable to be mad at polymarket if there is a pattern of their content creators failing to disclose ads.

This is like a food commercial where someone shows an extreme reaction to food that isn't the product they're selling, or acting like they're eating something that isn't food at all. There are laws regarding food advertising that require it to present the real food (though the presentation of it is usually way better).

I think ads for addictive things like gambling, alcohol, tobacco need to be held to a very high standard, if allowed at all.

McDonalds should show people who choked on a Big Mac in their ads /s
