This isn’t Reddit; there isn’t a Karma system - so unpopular opinions here should be downvoted instead to show how unpopular they are. It’s instinct to want to downvote something unpopular, and without the Karma system we finally don’t have to go against instinct. Then we can see what’s truly unpopular based on natural downvoted instead of some people remembering to upvote something unpopular.
Yeah but then you’re not actually seeing the unpopular opinions, you’re seeing the popular ones anyway by sorting by “hot”, because a lot of people downvote anyway. That’s my point - for unpopular opinion, using upvotes is unreliable because a lot of people use downvotes for something they find unpopular anyway. Especially if it makes it to All, because then they might not notice what community it’s from.
