I don't think this is true. Speaking for myself, I've upvote quite frequently comments I disagree with in part or in whole. For example, I upvoted Hyena's remark here even though I disagreed with it. (In fact, further discussion strongly supported Hyena's claim. But my upvote came before that discussion.)
I have a fair number of other examples of this.
I don't think that I'm at all unique in this. I've made multiple comments about why I think AI going foom is unlikely and discussing what I consider to be serious problems with cryonics. Almost every single one has been upvoted sometimes quite highly.
I've heard that we are supposed to upvote something if we want to see more like it on LessWrong. And that seems like a good rule of thumb. I usually upvote a post or comment before replying to it, because that typically means it's a subject I want more discussion on. And I comment more often when I have a disagreement, or at least feel that something's been left out.
