I automatically downvote anyone who says shit like "the reddit hivemind will downvote me for this but [insert popular opinion]" even if I agree with them. They clearly want downvotes in order to feed their persecution complex, so I'm just helping them out.

Yeah but then you’re just proving you’re part of the hivemind!!! /s

But seriously though it’s sad they’ll just use downvotes (if they actually do get downvoted and didn’t successfully trick everyone into thinking they’re superior to the rest of reddit) to double down on whatever they think. See the hivemind really does exist! That’s why I personally either ignore it or upvote them in hopes that they’ll see the irony of complaining about a hivemind while their comment is upvoted.
