What is the purpose of this "feature"? Are we really pandering to autists that can't even tell their own posts apart?
Not to mention it's brought in the worst type of attentionwhoring cancer that do nothing but derail the thread.

>Are we really pandering to autists that can't even tell their own posts apart?
If this was years ago I'd have agreed with that. The site has however grown and with more people comes more posts, which means that threads move and 404 faster than before. This has several implications so I think a clear indicator that you've been replied to does have a practical merit. That it has become a meme is only natural since almost everyone sees it.

I think some people have always attention-whored for replies, now they've merely changed their vocabulary. I suppose I can imagine that (You) appeals to people who are used to social media since it gives them a kind of selfname among anonymousness, which make them slant towards making more inciting replies. But that's just simple conjecture and there's no way to tell how imapctful it actually is.
