>Unpopular opinions on HN get downvoted to invisibility

Do they? In my experience (admittedly limited, a couple of years) things get a lot of downvotes almost always for how they say it, not what they say. Can anyone give counterexamples? A well-expressed comment worth reading but downvoted to invisibility?

I have no idea if there's a perceived difference in how I'm saying things, but I definitely notice that the unpopular opinions I hold get downvoted to invisibility.

Do you have some examples of that? Links? I should do an Ask about it I guess.. Examples seem hard to come by.
