IMHO is the softer cousin of IMO. The “H” adds humility — you’re flagging your take as just one perspective among many.
Sometimes used straight, sometimes ironically. “IMHO that’s the worst meal i’ve had this year” is rarely actually humble.
Slightly older-skewing than IMO. You’ll see it more on forums and Reddit than on TikTok.
