I mean, 7 of us agree that the moon is made of cheese. If getting people to agree is this easy, why don't we have world peas yet? It is already impossible to create a claim on jyte that nobody will agree with.

I have done it.
simply make an offensive claim instead of a comedy claim
Congratulations! That wasn't so hard, was it. If I had to guess, people voted yes on the moon=cheese claim because it was obviously untrue, and fun.
No, someone agrees with this claim. And my most offensive claim (to some "people", anyway) involving the death penalty for smokers has several people in agreement.
here's one i made! http://jyte.com/cl/you-are-weirdly-fascinated-by-npr-pledge-drives-and-cant-stop-listening
it's not offensiveness that does it so much as unbridled weirdness
Technically you could just take a claim that everyone agreed on and invert it.
I've managed it too (but that was all due to those nasty broccoli-lovers banding together, colluding with one another, holding clandestine summit conferences, and generally ganging up on a lonely scared-of-broccoli individual) — Here's where it all happened. One's ego is severely bruised. Sob, sob, sob, sob …
well, the degenerate gets-no-votes case is easier and will get easier still; but getting a lot of votes with no dissent is going to get harder and harder as ther eare more and more people around, and thus a more varied audience.
but it will never be impossible.
