Recently become a fan of the quote cast. 

Find myself increasingly defaulting to a quote cast versus a reply.

I think it depends on context but historically i've replied a lot and quoted very little and recently i've started quoting some more. 2 main cases for quoting are (1.) adding to my own cast (wouldn't be conversational either way), and (2.) if someone's cast/reply prompts a thought I feel merits a top level cast.

Why? I try to do the opposite

Quote casting feels like it’s just making it about you rather than having a conversation

"Most people do not reply with the intent to understand; they reply with the intent to quote cast." — Phil

wc doesnt surface reply threads very well. quote threads work better for that reason

I like this

IMO broadcast networks have 4 flavors of “reply”

Like → passive approval
Repost → active approval
Reply → passive comment
Quote-post → active comment

In that view, quote-casts are just a great way to start new conversations

I don't think quotes count towards rewards for who is quoted as it didn't seem to effect my score yesterday
