I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

This post is so confusing. Do I upvote opinions I strongly agree with or down vote them?!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Upvote things that contribute to the post, downvote things that don't. Has nothing to do with like/dislike, or agree/disagree.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Upvote since I agree with that sentiment

Downvoted, since it doesn't add anything to the answers. Just like my reply right here.

For these types of threads, I usually upvote things that are actually hot takes with some justification or unique insight. People that post an extremely popular decision or just insult something that a lot of people see value in get downvoted. Mostly it's moderately common takes or unusual opinions with no elaboration, so I don't vote on those.

I like this criteria. I'm using it.

This is one of the things that killed the unpopular opinion subreddit, and made Reddit in general so annoying. The upvote/downvote is not an agree/disagree button, it's for promoting valuable discussion and hiding the opposite

Upvote things you agree with, upvote well articulated but controversial opinions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If everyone upvote things they agree with well just end up with popular opinions D:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

You upvote because you agree that it's an unpopular opinion not because xou necessarily agree with the opinion

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Downvote 'em all!

Chaotic evil?
