A machine learning study of millions of online posts found five basic kinds of users – including ‘disagreers’ who mainly like to contradict others.

    It’s called being contrarian, and it’s not just Reddit users. I have several family members like this.

      I’d also argue it’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re talking shit be sure you’re able to back it up. I am naturally contrarian but in many cases it’s less about what I feel and more about taking the side of the voice that is missing.
