It's funny, the only place I see Kalshi mentioned is here on HN for articles about how bad Kalshi is. Same for all the sports betting sites.

I'm sure they are all bad, but damned if I never encounter them outside of HN.

It's bad on social media, especially Tik Tok. I don't use it often, but when I do I bet I get 3 Kalshi ads every 10 minutes easy.

I don't use tik tok (it never managed to adjust itself to me, YT shorts figured me out faster). I pay for YT Premium so I don't see ads, and I have ad blockers everywhere else, and I just refuse to use any platform that forces ads on me.

Related - ads are a pox upon society.

they run ads in the current World Cup for example, greatly increasing their exposure I reckon. Although might not matter, I am assuming they do not operate outside of North America
