One of the things I like about Lemmy over Reddit is how unpopularopinion is not as popular here as it was over there. To me it always had a kind of bad flavor of just yucking somebody else's yum. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I can't see the point of getting on the internet for the sole purpose of taking somebody like say Carol Burnett, who by all accounts was a nice person, and talking about her show, which was very popular, and saying "I don't like it or her, I didn't find it/them funny."

I guess I'm saying I don't really understand unpopularopinion posts. They seem like institutionalized trolling.

Hmm, perhaps this is a unpopular opinion.

Is this your unpopular opinion about unpopular opinion being unpopular in Lemmy? ...sorry, I couldn't resist.

Serious now. My issue with those opinion subs is that they were always crap - either they'd be about popular shit being posted as unpopular for karma, or political soapboxes for the foulest PoVs.

Opinions : Social Media :: Assholes : People. "Everyone's got one but no one wants to hear it." My dad used to always say, lol.

Always heard it: "everyone has one and they all stink."
