Comment on Politically-engaged Redditors tend to be more toxic -- even in non-political subreddits
SCB@lemmy.world 9 months agoJust saying things “as a test” is indistinguishable from defending it online.
Yes this is why it works as a test.
That being said there’s a difference between a bad take like your above examples
Only one of my statements is an opinion. The others are objective facts that make people sad.

Testing people like that is not a great if your looking to dissect a viewpoint sounds more like being inflammatory, especially with your word choice.
Opinions can be bad takes. See > your examples.

I express exactly one opinion there, and it isn’t a “take” at all.
franklin@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Sorry guess I should have been more clear. But the other two are also opinions. Opinions don’t have to be correct and they most certainly aren’t factual.

Two of my 3 examples are not opinions lol. Ads do keep YouTube free. Piracy is theft. Those are facts. You can justify your blocking or ads or piracy however you want but that is not an argument against these facts.
But we’re getting into the weeds since the point is the insanity with which people respond, so frequently, and not the disagreement itself.
