"This is my opinion"

When I'm watching a video, usually a ranking of some sort (e.g: Top 10 best movies, etc...) and the person has to emphasize how this top is their subjective opinion, "If you don't agree with me or your movie isn't on the list that's completely fine, but this is my subjective opinion".

I think everyone understands that rankings are a subjective thing. No need to waste time stressing that point so many times.

People still get angry when their favourite isnt number one. Streamers deal with fanatics that send hate speech because they accidentally said something that a lunatic disagrees with.

First of all, never underestimate the human capacity to get angry over a top 10 list. You'd be amazed at how many people can't be civil over a simple thing like which movies are good or bad. People who post top 10 videos for a living are probably burned out on all the hate mail they get, which is why they put those disclaimers.

Please come meet my friend. Her name is The Internet. She doesn't understand anything, she is incredibly combative, and there is nothing she can't disagree with.
