The absolute worst trend in writing is the now standard “thank you to xyz for reading drafts” It’s a thinly veiled status arb opposed to letting the writing stand on its own There is no reason to publicly thank a friend for spending 15 minutes marking up your draft. This type of thing is baked into friendship
