One problem I have is that the core design problem of Reddit is the use of user upvotes/downvotes to sort (and either highlight or hide) based on the number. But not only does an opinion unpopular not mean that it's wrong, it's vitally important for any democratic society that we are regularly exposed to viewpoints that differ from our own.

Yeah it's a nasty choice. I legit think it was: guy who already screwed the economy (100% chance of things getting worse), guy who's madder than a box of badgers but wants to try something different (99.9% chance of things getting worse), so let's hope for that 0.01%.

Thanks, I hate it

Yep. Checking via the notifications tray really helps
