Perhaps it should be named “unconventional opinions that I still agree with”? Or perhaps “lol lets see what opinion they post now” (to be fair, the WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME? I’M RIGHT is sort of this)?

People are just upvoting and downvoting what they agree and disagree with, so it basically comes off as a trap to get things to laugh at - which it isn’t even good at. Should people not be voting on “yes, this is something that is genuinely unpopular”?

    I upvoted this not because you are correct but because you care about votes. Least popular thing I can think of. Nice job.

      Funny thing, there seems to have been a multimillion industry built on caring about upvotes on the platforms people tell me it doesn’t matter. I agree with you, but largely because of the temporal irrelevance of Lemmy at the moment. There are plenty of accounts who have months in between comments and yet upvote or downvote regularly, so I can only assume it matters to them. Thank you, I try not to fall into the rot of popularisms.
