Why do certain users ++ various posts of the same user in quick succession? I don't see the logic in this.

    Do you read one paragraph from one book and then another paragraph from another book and then come back and read a paragraph from the first book ? No right ?

    The flow is..
    You read a rant, you like it.
    So you see the user's other rants which are arranged in a nice list and read them one by one ++ing as you read them.

    @-red That's not what I meant. What I meant was ++'ing various comments of the same user in the same post, especially when those comments are 1000 characters each and the ++ happened 3 to 5 seconds in between. Either someone is a super fast reader or they don't care about what the user in fact wrote. As for me, I spend some time, sometimes a day, analyzing and thinking before I post a comment back. I see little value in speedy feedback. It waters it down.

    Aside from that, I actually work that way, reading various pieces of various books, regularly coming back to them, but beside that.

    One could also have read everything without ++'ing, while doing that after finishing reading

    Like I just did 😉

    @Tayo Strange method of doing things.

    @Tayo That's also how I often do it. First get the picture, then evaluate whether I like it.

    @CaptainRant it's called ++ spam.
    It used to be common but @devTea and @bluenutterfly stopped doing it, and well not even I do it anymore.

    It's just for shits and giggles mostly, or to await their reaction of someone receiving 100+ notifications on their phone at once.

    Maybe they just want your attention because of your handsome outlook

    @CaptainRant It's like cutting all the meat first and then eating it all.
    Which I do.
