I read some of your other replies and I can't quite get a read on your line of reasoning.

The issue is we would give less attention to these things if it wasn't for the social credit the humans gave the vomit. So we engage in good faith and it turns out it was effectively a prank, and we have no choice but to value requests from those people less now because it was clear they didn't care about our response.



You ever watched a reviewbrah video? he doesn't get to "without any further ado" moment until after the halfway point of the video. The prank is the wasted time. But the joke is every other YTber does it more subversively without you getting any laughs out of it. It proves we give way more attention to slop then we dare to calculate.

No one listens to an hour of actual vomit just because a friend sent it to them, you should value your time more if you do at minimum.
