Comments

Every prediction event on Intotes has a comment section where users can discuss outcomes, share analysis, and debate probabilities. Comments also display the author's current position in the market, adding transparency to the discussion.

POST /api/v1/comments/{id}/like
POST /api/v1/comments/{id}/dislike

Position Transparency​

Each comment displayed in the UI includes the author's current position in the event's market. This means other users can see whether the commenter has a long (YES) or short (NO) stake, and its approximate size. This feature helps the community evaluate opinions in the context of the commenter's financial interest.
