in financial markets making wrong predictions reduces your capital and ability to make future bets.

in attention makets like social media making bold but wrong predictions has often the opposite effect. More following, engagement etc. 

is this something to be fixed or just a natural state of things?

interesting… so people shouting buy at the top or sell at the bottom just reflect the core narrative of the moment and are naturally rewarded?

IMO it's the natural state since those are 2 sides of the same narrative coin:

Success in financial markets: look past the narrative & see the underlying reality for what it actually is

Success in attention markets: synthesize & distill the core narrative from the underlying reality and discard the rest

It’s the natural state of things and needs to be fixed.
