What’s with this new wave of people quote-casting instead of replying to a cast? 

Are these folks afraid of the spam label? Trying to earn more Warpcast Rewards?

Ngl, I don’t like it…feels like I’m being dunked on or something. Teeters being rude. 🙃

Started a couple weeks ago from some more established accounts chatting about how there are TONS of fabulous replies but they don’t get surfaced. So if you want to expand the conversation you have to tag people in or quote cast so your friends see it. I understand completely where they are coming from. 

In fact, I stopped replying to questions and instead link them to another cast because all that work only goes to one person. Linking a top level cast brings them into the conversation.

Ah, OK, I had a feeling it was incentive-based because it was abrupt and a lot of smaller accounts seem to a bigger propensity than most for doing it.

OK, well I suppose I can respect the hustle. 😂

Replies are too buried. And rewards is helping drive this behavior. Top level engagement is all the matters. Follow the money.

Read this in a Jerry Seinfeld voice. Fits perfectly.

Nice to meet you! 
I love pretty, beautiful and creative things 🩷

I am not good at English, so I use translations.

I can respect and appreciate that point of view Yeah, I can see for an artist who wants to get noticed that a QT would help.

I think there's something to be said about discovery for replies, but I don't know...I'm speaking more as a collector than a creator there.

I would be happy if it was quoted, but unfortunately not many people quote me.
From my point of view, your worries feel luxurious.

I am grateful to anyone who legitimately quotes my art or words and gives me feedback, even if it is for the purpose of rewards.

Think of this as an opinion🙏

I don't think it's inherently rude, I think it's based more on some old school cultural social media norms, but reading through the comments, I can understand and appreciate more why people do it. 

Us old people have to get used to it now. 🤣

I personally like to quote cast stuff I find interesting so I can get that person's opinion and also hear what others think about it to give it more visibility.  

I'm not doing it for rewards, and honestly, I don't see how it's rude. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, and a bit on me to make sure to also help others with thier engagement.

Thank you

I think the burden is more on me to just be de-sensitized to it and realize it's part of the current meta

I've been doing it as i have been encouraged to do so. If I ever come off as rude, you can rest assured you have your lions crossed. It goes against my nature.

the pre-rich internet cat you heard about on the other app. out here vibing

Yea, I can see that being a motivating factor

some replies are being hidden as spam, with quotes they mostly get seen.

I also find it very interesting 🤣 feels like we're test subjects sometimes 

just wanted to give my pov just in case I've quote casted before and caused annoyance

Knowing what I know now, I think you're right...a lot of is people wanting to boost their score or avoiding the spam label.

I think it's causing an interesting paradigm on how people engage here. Not necessarily bad. Just interesting, IMO :)

i do it because it might be seen as rude but try to continue the conversation in a way that would lead the reader to open the quoted cast. not actually intending to be rude, also try to comment as well

idk how effective it is i just be casting 

the bulk is people trying to boost their score. there's also always been the ironic meta of everyone quote casting with a copy paste even tho we all have roughly the same audience

it's the middle.

replies don't count towards warpcast rewards, quote casts (ie top level casts do).

this is a reply in earnest, I'm just replying and tend to stay that way instead of annoying all quote behavior.

Would be cool if we have 'viewed' stats on replies, only counts if your reply is on the screen for a few seconds

If my answer is directed to the writer of the cast I reply, 
If it's for more people to see I recast. Not much people are reading replies.
