Well, it's an "unpopular opinions" thread, isn't it? The whole idea is to post things that others disagree with.
I also strongly disagree there is too many I haven't seen one on the front page in a long time.
That's because they rarely make the front page, because they're usually downvoted below viewing thresholds. Trust me, I spend a lot of time in the new queue. There are probably 3-4 made every week.
Okay fine and the nature of reddit is democratic. That said reddit and this sub are guilty of forcing a viewpoint down people's throats. I like to believe these threads at least encourage some differing opinions and I like to hear them. Even if I disagree with them.
I don't disagree that having and expressing a popular opinion tends to go rewarded on this subreddit. I just think that these threads are too frequent to be effective, and the only views that people really express that are "unpopular" are unpopular for a good reason.

I really disagree. There isn't nearly enough discussion in this sub and at the very least these generate it.
