Oh @galenkp, I consider you one of my friends, and one thing I always do for my friends, is be completely honest with them. With that in mind, I'm saying to you, 'don't be an ass' :) You and I both know the commenting that I do, and I have never posted a short, disingenuous, or shit reply. In fact, I have been in the top 10 of @abh12345's Curation League for months now; just check out his Sunday "Curation League" posts to see my commenting numbers...all very genuine by the way.

This tool helps me to navigate quicker because like I said in my post, there is a lot of great content that I get sidetracked with. This essentially puts blinders on me long enough to only pay attention to those I'm responding to...which is the epitome of engagement and nothing shitty at all.

If this is the kind of thing that can "kill" this platform, than I agree with @insideoutlet,

then it wasn't very stable to start with.

I'm going to assume (perhaps wrongly?) that your "cool" comment to her was sarcasm?

Of course there will be those who utilize this tool to their own greedy ends. Those people will always be here, but I prefer to see the positives here, which includes the benefits of using Fast Reply.

The platform is dying.

I don't think so. If you look hard enough, you can see all the good that still goes on here, despite or in spite, of the shit.

I think it's time for a holiday my friend :)
