How does everyone feel about forum posts that are just quotes with no context or discussion added?
When I pull a quote, it’s usually because I have an idea or a discussion point I want to pose to the forum, so I’ve always posted with context to the quote in some capacity, even if it’s just “This is such a great quote.”
Recently I’ve noticed a lot of posts in forums that are just quotes. My original inclination for those was to usually just scroll past. I thought they weren’t necessarily low-effort, but they just didn’t provide anything to start a discussion or prompt any thinking on my part.
I find that quotes that I don’t feel the need to discuss or add anything to I’d more likely put in a status update for the book. But then I thought about how those don’t really have spoiler filters and that if a quote was put in there it could be spoiling the book for others who haven’t read yet.
So now I’m torn and I’m curious what everyone else’s thoughts are on posting quotes without discussion in the forums vs. using status updates for quotes. What do you tend to do when you find a quote you want to remember?

I had high hopes. I shouldn’t have.
This book tries to be progressive, and I do appreciate those moments, but it falls into gross conservative propaganda during any sex scene. There’s no connection between the characters besides their attraction for each other. And don’t get me started on the ending…the book literally cuts off right in the middle of a new plot point. Not a cliff hanger, just introduces something major and then ends.
I wanted to like it more, but alas, onto the next.
