It's a "feature" of Reddit in general and the upvote system in particular. You never see actual arguments for an against something in one thread (or in the replies of one post), because whatever opinion happened to get there first will dominate and all voices of dissent will be either downvoted or the posters who disagree don't ever even bother to write their post, knowing it'll be buried anyway.
I see it on a lot of subreddits where there are actually very strong conflicting opinions -- you see one opinion in one thread, another opinion in another thread, but never arguments back and forth in the same thread. So, yes, there are no conclusions that can be drawn based on "we can see the majority of users clearly feel this way".
There's nothing here!
