Even though I agree with the premise that there are all sorts of opinions out there, and the conclusion that most of those opinions don't matter, be wary of trying to fit your world view into made up theories (like opinions into buckets of 33% discouraging / 33% indifferent / 33% encouraging / 1% life-changing). It may be detrimental for your own good. [0]
