The Unpopular Opinions thread

[eggie_]

i think when trying to support an artist digitally bandcamp is one of the best sites you can use. they’ve been doing this thing on the first friday of every month where ALL of the money from buying an album/song/ etc goes directly to the artist! so it’s been a great way to support indie artists and labels. i mean i really think it should be every friday, but this is waaayyy better than nothing!! link to how they usually pay artists.

and i totally agree with spotify. it’s great for discovering new music, but awful for supporting artists. i think artists only get like, fractions of a cent when someone streams their music. like every 3 streams of a song they get 1 cent lol. their stated payout range is .006 - .0084 cents per stream, and my guess is that this depends on how popular your music is. probably not great for indie artists.
napster is supposed to be pretty good though, apparently they pay artists the most out of any streaming service.

tl;dr - i agree that spotify is awful and services like napster and bandcamp are way better for supporting artists

And now for a REALLY unpopular opinion...

I didn’t enjoy Animal Crossing: New Horizons very much. It was worth it for terraforming and outdoor scenery placement, but not for a lack of buildings, lack of Gracie themes, or how items aren’t the same as they used to.

I also miss Nook Stores that open for longer hours.

I actually agree, also the fact that they had the guts to take $60 for a half-finished games just to basically "punish" TTers or whatevers

And time traveling is how I normally played Animal Crossing for years. Also, what’s the point of removing Gracie items?

Yeah, same. I mean I don't play a lot of NH these days but I surely TT when needed.

I couldn't imagine moving villagers houses and building/demolishing bridges/inclines a day at a time. I'd go crazy.

"I was just joking/it's a joke" is such a piss poor excuse for saying something bigoted or logically flawed.

Yeah same, I get the game is supposed to be "slow" and real-time etc. but yeah man agree.

I don't think this would be such an unpopular opinion here, but in society in general maybe. Or, maybe just people don't think about it.

Sports coverage in the news could be drastically reduced without issue. Sport takes up a large portion of most news programmes—time that could just as appropriately be spent talking about developments in film, music, fashion, literature, cooking or any other form of entertainment and lifestyle. This is especially true with public channels like BBC News, which should more accurately reflect the diversity in the population's pastimes. Instead, continuously throughout lockdown they've tried to pad out the already inflated sports section with whatever they can scrape together while no sport is happening. They already have a whole branch of their organisation to cover sports and it's not hard to find.

Someone's actual teeth > veneers

After seeing how veneers are. . .crafted, I suppose is the word to use. . .I wish I could unsee it. This isn't to say I'm including corrective, elective procedures for someone's teeth. Veneers aren't reversible btw.

Other drawbacks can include:

• Veneers are not a good choice if you have gum disease, weak teeth, or other issues
• Veneers cost more than composite resin bonding
• Veneers usually can’t be fixed if they chip or crack. People who grind their teeth may not be good candidates for porcelain veneers
• Your natural teeth may become more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures
• Veneers may not exactly match the color of your other teeth. If you plan on whitening your teeth, you need to do so beforehand
• If a tooth with a veneer decays, you may need to replace it with a crown

The biggest Pokémon controversy isn’t the Porygon episode. It’s the removal of Pokémon species. As time goes by, many facts change, which now includes what the biggest controversy of any media is.

Halloween. It's fun to dress up and trick or treat when you were a kid but I don't get what the HUGE amount of hype is about. Everyone acts like it's THE BEST THING EVER OOOOH SPOOPY and I just don't get it.

It's just downright sad that this is considered an unpopular opinion. It really shouldn't be.

Anyone who has been out of college/university for years shouldn't be surprised, judge, nor question graduates when we say that we have X amount in student debt. Yes, college tuition inflation is too real... we're not just being careless with money.

OMG when someone tries to say “it was just a joke” after saying something rude/insensitive/etc it makes me angrier than whatever they said in the first place

Yeah tbh the only good thing about Halloween in my opinion is the weeks before it. It's nice to see the leaves change color and places becoming becoming festive with spooky decorations and stuff. The day itself isn't the most exciting thing, and it definitely isn't helping that Halloween is definitely going to change due to the COVID-19.

Chipotle (the restaurant) isn't good.

 

[rianne]

Children and babies shouldn't have social media accounts. There are predators on the internet, as I and others have experienced, who can take advantage and be disgusting.

Age limit restrictions are there for a reason. Go COPPA! (And TBT for complying with COPPA.)

agree
and especially not as a crisps flavour, ew.
