Writing “did not read” under someone’s post is a pointless and unproductive act that serves no constructive purpose. When you see a post that you choose not to engage with, it requires no further acknowledgment—scrolling past is entirely sufficient. Posting “did not read” adds nothing to the discussion; it neither critiques the content nor fosters dialogue. Instead, it often comes across as dismissive or rude, implying that the writer’s effort to share their thoughts or information was futile or unworthy of your time. Such a response can discourage meaningful sharing and undermine the value of open communication, especially in spaces meant for discussion or learning. Moreover, announcing your lack of engagement is paradoxical—it’s akin to saying, “I have nothing to add, but here’s a comment anyway,” which only wastes time for everyone involved. If the content doesn’t interest you or feels irrelevant, it’s far more respectful to move on in silence rather than contributing a thoughtless remark that does little more than reflect poorly on your own behavior. Constructive engagement, even in disagreement, is what drives conversation forward, while “did not read” achieves the opposite, signaling an unwillingness to participate meaningfully in the exchange of ideas.
