[Discussion] What are your hot takes or opinions you haven't yet posted for fear of downvoting? (alien.top)

In a post from a few days ago, I noticed that someone mentioned that they were afraid to post about their dislike of the Tudor BB58 for fear of downvoting. You know what? The BB is a boring watch that's not worth the money, and Tudor wouldn't be half as popular as it is without the connection to Rolex. If Rolexes were as attainable as they were in past years, cut that by a factor of 10. Would you really buy a BB if the reality were that you could just save a little bit more and get a Rolex Submariner? That's my hot take. What's yours?

Do you apply the same logic to other domains? For instance, that people who can't become politicians should not voice their opinions about politicians, or that people people who has not been to prison should not voice their opinions about crimes, etc.

No, because crime and politics is part of the societal domain.

But you don’t know all the ins and outs of the job. I don’t hold this view but it is analogous to what you originally said.

Watches are part of fashion, anyone into fashion is part of that domain.
