Unpopular opinion: this sub doesn't like honesty
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>There's a saying: "each sub is it's own echo chamber"</p> <p>Views that differ from what's accepted and agreed upon as true are heavily downvoted. Downvoting opinions, that hold a contrarian view to the point they get hidden are a great tool to enforce this echo chamber, but it limits the subs usefulness as a source of unbiased information. </p> <p>Just to give an example to illustrate, here's some data:</p> <p>USD is a world reserve currency, so 1 USD = 1 USD. It's current inflation is ~ 5%, so people view it as a bad investment, as you lose ~5% annually on it. </p> <p>Now let's take a look at Algorand. It has a 6% network reward. It's inflation is 19%. This is a -13% APY. </p> <p>Even a mere mention of the fact, that currently ALGO has worse Tokenomics than the US Dollar brings out the downvote army. And stifles any discussion. </p> <p>What is the deal with downvoting anything that doesn't agree with ones beliefs? </p> <p>Edit: I'm also somewhat salty, that commenting unpopular opinions cost money. With the upcoming karma-to-moon ratio, a simple comment on how the USD has better Tokenomics than ALGO will probably cost me more than $1. This is a major encouragement to only post stuff the majority agrees with and further enforces this echo chamber.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Randomized_Emptiness"> /u/Randomized_Emptiness </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pgwbmh/unpopular_opinion_this_sub_doesnt_like_honesty/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pgwbmh/unpopular_opinion_this_sub_doesnt_like_honesty/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
