To think that someone always has to press YABU on an AIBU thread, even if the poster blatantly isn’t?

[AlternativePerspective]

I’ve seen some horrendous threads over the years, threads which involve domestic violence/talking about news events where there is murder etc, and it doesn’t matter how obvious it is that the OP isn’t unreasonable, there is always at least a 1% YABU.

I could ask if I were unreasonable to never speak to my parents again after they murdered my cats and sent me out to work as a slave when I was a child, and someone would vote YABU.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 100% yanbu thread.
So are there posters who deliberately come on just to go against the grain? Or is there some kind of algorithm to ensure that a 100% thread is not possible?

I know😂
Someone could post about kicking puppies every sunday and there would be that determined voter going against the grain and clicking Yanbu😂

Maybe people press it by accident?

Yep. Always a contrary desperate for attention poster.

You can change your vote though

Yes have posted about this before and I think it’s attention seeking.

It might mean 'YABU for posting this in AIBU' if it's the scenarios you describe...

Sometimes I click YABU, because I think they are being so obviously not unreasonable in the situation that they're unreasonable to ask

If the question is so obvious that nobody would vote YANBU, then maybe the OP is being unreasonable to even ask.

I've seen 100% YANBU before.

Other way round, but I saw a 100% YABU the other day with over 1,400 votes. Sometimes everyone does agree.

Its U to post asking when you obviously aren't.

'AIBU to like X TV programme'
'AIBU to buy these things I like'
'AIBU to not like the person who punched me'
'AIBU to not want to stick forks in my eyes'

Of course you're not, why the fuck are you asking? That's the only thing that's unreasonable.

I’ve done it by accident before now, before I learnt that you could change your vote

I do recall seeing a couple of 100% YANBU votes though.

Attention seeking by pressing a button, the result of which is completely anonymous?

If there are only a very small number of YABUs then yes it is a kind of attention seeking. People often ask "who the hell has voted YABU".

Some people just press to see what the votes are at. And some, I think, press to say YABU to keep putting up with this.

Yep. Always a contrary desperate for attention poster. How is casting an anonymous vote "attention seeking"? Doesn't someone need to know who you are to be able to give you attention?

Another one here who wants an explanation of how casting an anonymous vote could be 'attention seeking'.
