Does it really feel that way? I don't think I've ever lived in or heard of an era where people were valued for being contrarian and independent.
In some eras those things are tolerated, when they produce results, and in some eras they are not. Most places and times, tbe nail that sticks out is the one that gets the hammer.

The majority doesn't value contemporary contrarians, and it only values past contrarians once their ideas win over the majority. The majority values winners, not contrarians. Although while doing so, they often give lip service to valuing contrarians, and everyone imagines they would have been early supporters.
