What do you think if your favorite character/LI is less popular than other character/LI?

Recently i make my koilog account (you can check the link in my bio) and realized that the site is having some unique system where every user there can cast vote their favorite LIs and show off your top 10 favorite character on your profile for other to see. Tbh at first i was "wow this system is different than vndb" and then when i organized my otome list there and ranking my favorite LIs for the specific title i found out that some of the LIs rank result for some games is kinda...pissed me off? I know each people having a different taste and i can't blame them for liking specific LI but wow, i can't believe it how the hell "A" is being popular rather than "B" and so on. For others in here..how do you think about this? Do you prefer your favorite character popularity is underwhelming (benefiting how less popular they are so that you can keep them to yourself, rare content/fanart but cheaper merch and finding the certain merch/cd/etc is easiest due to their less popularity = less demand) or overwhelming (i love that other people having the exact same taste as me so that's mean i'm not alone! more content/fanart/merch and other stuff due to their popularity despite for some who collect their merch needs to bear the "sold out" and overpriced due to their overwhelming popularity = more demand)? Which team are you on?

I'm fine either way lol It's okay if A is more popular than B. I only look at the poll results and laugh, then continue with my day.

I have too much merch from non-otome series, so I'm not really into otome merch like pins, keychains or standees. I'm more into their manga or artbooks instead, in artbooks, my favorite is always there. But if my favorite is too popular and his merch is either sold out or overpriced... I'll probably make his merch myself lol

I always end up liking less popular characters so I am pretty used to it, I do find it sad to see my fav being underapreciated but everyone has unquie taste so it is what it is.

Maybe my taste is pretty mainstream I haven't come across any really obscure characters I like yet. But I really respect everyone's preferences and choices
