Financial products do what they are supposed to do when the market moves, that is what derivatives do. Silly to argue which is better since it depends on how you trade to make money, not the product.
why don''t people just sell options instead of trading minis?

After having tried and lost using options years ago, I would only use options on an intraday basis and use puts to short a stock. I'm never going back to spreads again. One time I couldn't get out of a leg in a butterfly. And they decided to exercise it on me days later and it became a much greater loss. Also, there is a limited window to take profits. Close to expiration day depending on volatility, the pricing you may have thought you were going to get when closing a trade, projected days or weeks back, can disappear quick after the market open.

No. ---- Commissions make it a negative sum game.
80% of options expire worthless.
find ways to get premium decays(edge) , think outside the box/outside the option formula
Options and trading in general are negative sum games due to commissions. Time/premium decay have nothing to do with that.
