If tweet fails to load, click here. A Polymarket bot developer mass deleted his code last week. I found his Reddit confession before it disappeared.
I'm done. Not because the money stopped. Because I can't sleep anymore.
He built prediction algorithms for 3 years. Made $2.1M. Then wrote 47 paragraphs explaining why he's walking away.
The part that haunts me:
Every time you place a bet, you're not competing with other humans. You're feeding data to systems that learned your patterns months ago. Your hesitation. Your favorite markets. The exact moment you check your phone after news breaks. We have all of it.
He described the architecture:
Layer 1: Sentiment scrapers reading 140,000 tweets per minute. Before a rumor becomes a headline, the position is already built.
Layer 2: Exchange bridges. The bot sees BTC move on Coinbase, calculates Polymarket impact, and executes. Total latency: 80ms. Your finger hasn't touched the screen yet.
Layer 3: Behavioral modeling. They know retail traders panic-sell at -15%. So they push prices to -14.8%. Wait. Then buy your shares at discount when you finally crack.
The worst part? We call regular traders yield. Not competitors. Not opponents. Yield. Like crops we harvest seasonally.
Stop being yield: thetradefox.com?ref=JUSTBLAZ…
He ended with this:
The only retail traders making money are the ones who stopped trading. They just copy the wallets that copy us.
I read it three times.
Then I deleted my indicators. My charts. My strategy.
Because there's no strategy against someone who sees your cards, knows your tells, and moves before you think.
There's only one play left:
Stop being yield. Start being a shadow.
They spend millions on infrastructure. You spend nothing.
They take the risk. You take the same entry.
They do the math. You copy the answer.
In Polymarket, you're either the algorithm or the agriculture.
Choose.
Not financial advice.

"The only retail traders making money are the ones who stopped trading."
Ridiculous, plenty of traders making far more than the average salary

Lot of AI in the tweet.

That post was written with chatGPT100%. That doesn't definitely make it fake but it makes me think it's very likely fake. It's also weird that is about a supposed confession but doesn't actually have or linked to the confession. And it has a link in it that seems like it's an ad for a trading site? The whole thing seems super fake.

I thought this thread was going to be something about the end of the world or the takeover by Skynet. It’s just AI copying everybody else’s homework? Whatever, don’t care.

Wow. Seriously, that's enlightening.
