If you get in the habit of occasionally posting unpopular opinions youll notice sometimes you attract people who will reverse troll you, upvoting your entire post history.

I don't care what you say, I'm not going through your history and upvoting everything.

Might it just be people being happy to recognise someone sharing their point of view?

Hard NOT to upvote such a based comment history. ✊🏼

Detecting that would require a skill set.

Who is checking their own post history's upvote count?

I sometimes do that, but only like 3 or 4 posts/comments, not the whole history.

When I read a comment that makes me double-take, I check whether this is a troll that spouts a certain kind of contrarian take on every thread (you know the kind I'm talking about), or if it's someone who posts reasonably most of the time but will put out a mind-provoking thought once in a while. I think the latter is fine and part of healthy discourse, so I'll upvote the unpopular take and some of their reasonable takes that I checked.

I have that habit 😅 ...but I've never seen a reverse trolling

Never noticed.

Actual schizo behavior lmao I love the internet.

No no no, we don't do that kind of critical thinking around here, blind outrage posting is the only allowable form of communication!
