I've seen quite a few comments on this site that express arguments FOR unpopular views and opinions using quality discourse get heavily downvoted (e.g. AI and abstraction killing off most programming jobs, the un-affordability of the Bay Area, presenting evidence of market slowdowns in the tech sector, anything "conservative" or right wing, anything decently cynical towards Elon Musk, anything debunking AI hype, anything religious or spiritual, anything skeptical of portfolio companies).

Personally, I'd rather this site be an open forum for discussion than a vehicle for plugging our ears and hearing what we want to hear. As such, I really wish I could view all of the redacted comments on here.

Just because somebody doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they should get downvoted.
