Many microblogging and aggregation platform users prefer to ask questions within a thread to keep the conversation active. You can continue scrolling through other posts while waiting for an organic reply from another user.

I'm really glad this appears to be a popular way of thinking. Back in my day people would respond to questions like this with rude "let me Google that for you" links. I always preferred asking humans things rather than looking them up, and I think that's become really important given the AI hellscape we're experiencing.

You can also keep a conversation going by being an insufferable cunt, Lets all thank Summzashi for providing an excellent example of this.
