Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Daily show was a daily watch the entire run with John Stewart. It was comedic, it was newsworthy, it was silly and engaging yet informative. Brilliant.
Trevor Noah sucked. I like his standup. I liked some of his jokes. But he was way too soft on most things and just not funny. I watched for a few weeks after the transition and turned it off. Came back a few times for an episode here and there to see if he'd gotten better, and left when he hadn't.
The rotating host thing was also annoying. Almost all of them were terrible with a few episodes total that sparked joy. Not enough to watch again.
I tuned into the new 2024 John Stewart and it was the same John Stewart in the exact way it should be. I literally LOLd and was engaged. His news was not newsworthy and it was a soft ball night. Obviously getting back into the groove and I'm excited to see what happens. I will be tuning in purposefully.
I hope Comedy Central doesn't ruin the golden goose that just landed back in their laps. Let Stewart remain on air as much and as often as he likes until he needs to be wheeled in on a health machine.
