We are all in agreement then. Quoting is meant more to draw more attention to yourself, instead of having a conversation with the OP. I don’t see why people are getting offended that I’m pointing out this behavior. If you want attention, quote. If you want to have a conversation, reply.

I quote from time to time because OPs choose not to engage with plebs so it feels like talking to a wall of elitism which I find abhorrent. Not saying you do it (at all) but thought you might like another opinion.
Quote posts are for engagement to your followers. Not only that. It signals to plebs your paying attention. I agree with your analysis. But see nothing wrong with quote posting.
The 'We ' in the statement 'We are all in agreement then..' Is that the royal 'we' or an assumption? Asking for a friend of a friend who is an abhorrent 'quote poster 'type. 😉
