Original title is "'The staus quo is unsustainable': Congressional scrutiny of Kalshi, Polymarket explodes"

Alas, HN titles are limited to 80 characters

Anyone reading the article would notice this but someone only reading the HN title might think "scrutiny" means public scrutiny


Is "explodes" really the right verb if this headline has been up here for an hour and no one has anything to say? Am I really the first?

That's the weird thing about predictive markets, it feels from another world. It's huge and nobody I know is aware of it.

It's legal scrutiny, not public scrutiny.

It's always the right word!
