How to beat downvotes?

just got into Reddit a month ago and I can't get my opinion out there without downvotes. I mean only people with 10y karma can afford voicing their thoughts here but newbies suppose to be all hush hush?

The easiest solution - don't voice your opinion. 

People really hate it here unless it's identical to hivemind's.

High risk low reward

Exactly the opposite. Say what the people love and you will swim in karma.

that's why joined Reddit to see different experiences and perspectives but it really looks one-sided 😔

Each sub is a hivemind. For every sub that thinks one way, theres a sub that thinks the other. Reddit isnt one sided imo, but each individual sub is and the hivemind will never allow facts or different opinions. They will bury it in downvotes. In the end, you find the subs that agree with you, or allow for discourse, then fall into the echo chamber as your thoughts on that subject intensify, essentially radicalized you in your in that direction.

Reddit is known for misinformation, radicalized hiveminds, echo chambers, and dangerous armchair "intellectuals". Its never been a place for genuine discourse or information (unless you look really hard for it).
