I think it’s better to offer to bet in any market that any newcomer makes rather than offer to subsidize. Manifold doesn’t (yet?) surface higher subsidy things in the feed more, so it would only make a difference for people on the search page that are sorting by liquidity, but even so,100 mana subsidy isn’t actually sufficient to bring it to the top of. Or put another way, it’s not sufficient incentive when there are better trading opportunities. (We do try to surface new markets. And I do expect markets posted on lesswrong to get some engagement because people on lesswrong see it).
This is cool!
