I disagree with this policy, for what it’s worth. I think you should upvote high quality posts, where the author uses good reasoning in favour of a conclusion you disagreed with or hadn’t considered, which you think deserve more attention—not just every post that makes an unpopular argument!
Yeah I wouldn’t upvote every post that makes an unpopular argument. But I upvote posts that I want to encourage on the margin, which includes posts that are wrong but better to make than not to.
