Polymarket's 15-minute contract is really outrageous; 28.4% of the fees are taken away. Isn't that already exaggerated enough?

2.7 million dollars for this? Seeing Poly's 787,000 fee suddenly made me understand what "short-term is true love" means.

Polymarket is really a money-making monster, with contracts in just 15 minutes pulling in nearly 800,000 in a week? These people are really betting on rapid fluctuations.
