Wow! 馃憤 Oh no! That's interesting. Cool Lol

Think this is a somewhat lazy and slightly off-putting response?

Well, so is sending a link out of the blue with no context.

The problem with link spam

Legions of advertisers and algorithms feel entitled to force content directly into our brains every day in the real world and online. By sending a bare link out of the blue, you put yourself in the same company.

It doesn't take much effort, just a sentence or two goes a long way. "This is hilarious", "this reminds me of that thing you like", "do you think he can really fit all those pool balls in there?". Without that, opening a mystery link from someone is basically an unpaid internship in mind-reading.

Our attention is one of our most precious resources. Be a human, not an algorithm.

After all, doesn't this look better?

It's just like I was saying the other night!
