The person sharing their unpopular opinion is doing exactly what’s expected of them, so why downvote it when you agree that’s it’s an unpopular opinion? An upvote would be you agreeing that it’s an unpopular opinion. Downvoting it means you’re either an A-hole or you disagree that it’s an unpopular opinion.
Now I leave you with a joke. Silver was walking down the street and bumped into gold. Silver says "Ey, You’. Gold replies “Ey, G!”
Unpopular opinion, this is Lemmy/Kbin. Nobody gives a rat’s arse about imaginary points and neither should you. Upvote or downvote as you feel.
No need to be grumpy. It’s all in good fun
The internet points themselves are irrelevant, but comments and posts do get ordered based on those points.
