Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

If I had more control over the types of ads I saw, I would accept this. Often I'm shown something very unpleasant in order to sell a dumb mobile game or something. If any of them had to follow the same rules many content creators had to, they would never be allowed.

The state of ads right now feels like what if Elsagate videos were mandatory to watch? If I really want to support a creator, I donate to them.

People should have more children in the West. Especially Europe is demographically killing itself by decades of low birth rates.

The U,S. Mail delivery system is owned by the Oligarch Cartel that also owns Congress and numerous govt. institutions. It's nothing but an "ADS TO YOUR DOOR/mailbox" junk-mail delivery service. SHUT IT DOWN!!! It's actual f*ing SPAM in physical form.

I swear, every square inch and cm of the United States is for sale. Disgusting. Disappointing.
