So I’m starting to see the dark side of the quote cast meta. Quote casts are powerful ways to get the attention of the OG caster, but only when used to add to the conversation and try to get more eyes on it. When it’s used to ask a question to the original caster instead of replying to them and asking directly, it feels gross and I don’t like it. What is the point of this? It feels like shallow engagement bait rather than adding to the conversation. I hope this is not the new trend. Most will ignore it.

I dislike it strongly. I didn’t realize it was happening until someone called me out for not answering their question. I looked through my notifications and assumed they had a spam label and didn’t see it. Nope. The quote casted me and asked a question and EXPECTED me to answer it. Hard no. A QC to me should raise awareness and add more people to the conversation.

Why would anyone "expect" an answer on here?, if you get one great, but people are doing their own thing.. it's their time, they get to choose what to do with it I enjoy QCs mainly to spread ideas I love, add it to my cast stream, with attribution, and if I have something to add about it I do 🤷♀️

They also seem really useful to QC one of your own replies, if you feel it's cast worthy
