Sometimes with 100+ posts with some one line half hearted comment from the original post?

Like "he's just not into you"

What's the point? Is it to annoy the OP, or is there a posting counter somewhere I don't know about. Or do they genuinely not consider that there's an actual conversation going on that they haven't bothered reading about?

I genuinely don't get it. Is it kids?, Is it people looking to build their confidence to start posting or is it intentionally meant to be so invalidating as to annoy the hell out of people?

It doesn't annoy me anymore but it used to.

Some good points, personally I think he's just not into you

On the mobile app, i don't find it as easy to see how long a thread is, so sometimes you don't realise it's got to 6 pages or whatever before you reply. But the 'all posts' thing by the OP, as mentioned above, is a great feature, super helpful.

I think the same dynamic is at play when people answer those emails sent by Amazon saying, " X has a question about this product which you bought. Can you answer it?" to which they post an answer saying "Sorry, I don't know." Hmm

I never understand why people write "placemarking" or "F" Hmm
