This list of anonymous "Unpopular opinions too unpopular for Twitter" is great reading
Of course, some of them are "bad"
By now, you’ll have seen the ‘unpopular opinion’ meme - someone on Twitter says something like “Unpopular Opinion: Food Edition” and then people reply with wacky things like “Pineapple on pizza is great!” and everyone has a big laugh. It’s quite funny, sometimes.
Anyway, it’s sort of reached an end point now - all the unpopular opinions have been expressed, and there is nowhere to go. Unless of course, you count the things that people wanted to say, but were too embarrassed to put their name to. The unpopular opinions too unpopular for Twitter.
The dark stuff. The real meat.

All films with horses in are rubbish
With every new ‘Unpopular Opinion: X Edition’ tweet, the word ‘Unpopular’ morphs further into ‘Lazy, Obvious Crowd-Pleaser’. “Unpopular Opinion: Food Edition” “Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! I prefer bacon to fois gras!!!”

However, if the look of a spreadsheet understandably fills you with dread, then Rob is in the process of creating a bot that will tweet out the opinions too:
