Nope.
Subjective truth is when your girlfriend says chocolate ice cream is the best.
This is truly what she feels. But there is no Objectively best ice cream flavor.
Even if everyone thinks chocolate is the best, the objective truth would be "Everyone currently thinks chocolate is the best" NOT "Chocolate is the best."

If everyone said 1+1=334 because everyone believed that to be the case. Where 1 is understood to be a single unit and not 167 (half of 334), then everybody is wrong, and they all agreed to it. Even subjectively speaking if i owed you 167 dollars, and i gave you a one dollar bill, you'd say that i still owed 166, even if i believed 1=167, if i believed that then subjectively i am wrong, it's not even an opinion. An opinion for me is when someone holds an idea that is a logical possibility but the truth to which is not certain. You can't have an opinion about something that is plainly false once you realize it otherwise you're an idiot.

Not at all. Truth is not a democracy.
