Abstract
Features are disclosed for enabling users to discover content with different opinions or sentiments regarding particular topics. In some embodiments, users may request content expressing an opinion regarding a topic that is contrary or otherwise different than the opinion expressed in a currently viewed or selected content item. A service or system can identify content items related to the same topic, analyze sentiments expressed regarding the topic, and provide the user with a listing or other data regarding content with differing opinions. In some embodiments, the service or system may proactively search for and classify content as expressing particular opinions about particular topics in the absence of a request from a user. In some embodiments, the service or system may proactively provide users with data regarding the availability of content items with contrary opinions.
