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”?

    Exactly.

    It’s the same for other communities also.
    Have e.g. seen a lot of unexpected downvotes for legit dull posts on Dull Men’s Club.

    Would perhaps help if the community name would be displayed more prominently.

    On the other hand, the community names sometimes don’t mirror the description or content of the community.
    So it’s complicated…

    Perhaps count votes from actual community members seperatly from the rest?
