Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

That is tricky. I don't think I purchase services that are not immediately consumed.
No Netflix or Spotify. I do get utilities, but I doubt that is your meaning.
Do you have an example?
Oil changes, tax preparation, deep tissue message. Paying someone else to do something you don't want to or can't do yourself.
Great, thank you. Those are not what I mean.
Oil changes result in a receipt and new oil. Tax prep resilts in a receipt and a task completed. Deep tissue message gets a nice feeling and a receipt. None are digital only.
Paying someone to play music for me does likely fit. It may be a weakness in my thinking.
