Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

THAT's the lead on this story - if it were implemented differently it could be much better, expanding people's choices without taking away existing ones. It's like those amusement parks where if you pay extra on top of the already exorbitant rates to begin with, you can cut in front of the line, so rich people can make "the poors" stand there, literally at the very front of the line, for hours on end as those who pay extra cut in front of them. Thus even if the price of a regular ticket were to remain the same, what you get in return takes a nosedive in quality, essentially taking something away from you, compared to the way it was before. (Okay so I never go to such parks, I am far too cheap for that, that's mostly just how I imagine it would be:-)
I've seen restaurants that refuse to pay their workers (cough Chipotle cough) get short staffed and literally shut down their in-person service, so if you show up at the door, the only option was to pay the extra fee for the "convenience" of the pickup option. Same food, same door you physically walk through, a register literally one foot away from the other one... but you need to pay more for the privilege.
It's all about the money.
