and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it’s so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it’s a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks.

I upvote if I think it’s a valuable, earnest, or funny/clever statement. I only downvote if it is completely irrelevant or rudely disruptive for discussion.
I think it’s good to think twice before downvoting. If it’s a point of view that you despise or behavior that you can’t stand, it might be better for the public to see how that is handled in a forum (through words). Why try to push it away from sight when you could instead demonstrate to other viewers how to help a dummy out?
However you choose to vote and how often, don’t stress about it too much
I was asking because posts (not comments, just posts) in r/unpopularopinion had special, non-standard rules. The idea was to upvote posts you didn’t like so that the most unpopular opinions were the ones that got the most visibility/discussion.
