Quite common point of the post is to convey some information.
First time here, huh?
Information intended ro evoke an emotional response!
What emotion did you hope to evoke, by posting this?
OP uses irritation! It’s super effective!
Arousal.
All cognition has an emotional component, so you have to be more specific. Once you get more specific, then you’ll see that music and art communities are different.
This is true on algorithmic platforms that reward “engagement” of any kind. I didn’t get that sense from pre 2010 Facebook or Twitter and I don’t get that sense on fediverse platforms.
Is the other 1% to evoke an electrical response?
What post
OH MY GOD THIS PISSES ME OFF SOOOOO MUCH
(The same could be said of most songs, poetry, fiction.)
Someday we will invent a way to convey emotions without that intermediate step. That will be impressive.
😁
something something SLAMS
Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.
I’ve seen things, you people wouldn’t believe,
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
I’ve watched C-beams glitter in the dark, near the Tannhauser gate
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…
Time… to die…

What makes you think a post has only one point? It’s a curious notion, but I would imagine the vast majority of posters have multiple reasons for sharing what they share.
Obviously people are often posting things they think others might care about, but that doesn’t tell us anything about anything at all.
Why did you lead with a question just there? Yes, for the emotion. It’s like you can’t help it.
Your premise is flawed. A question doesn’t beg an emotion, it begs a response. The response could be completely devoid of emotion.
Sorry cybertron, begging is totally an evocation of emotion. That’s its power. That’s why you do it.
I post to correct the record and/or to be countered with better quality information to change my mind.
Most of the time I guess idiots spazzing or argueing shot based on feels or shills lol
But level of discourse here is far superior to reddit on pound per pound basis… We need more depth and breadth tho
Those idiots excite me.
