Sometimes, people say “Look, here’s an unpopular opinion – “.
And they continue saying something which might or might not be true.
But because they started with “I admit, you might not like this”, they are somehow favored.
People might enjoy listening to what they have to say, because they were honest, right from the start.
I find the comment “Here’s an unpopular opinion” rather manipulative.
You say this upfront, just so that then you are allowed to say anything.
It’s like saying “I’m going to say something, but you might not like it”.
Well, in that case, take a leap and either not tell it, or tell it without this game.
