I asked AI for you here the answer is:
why do people write the annoying: read on to find out more?
ChatGPT said:
People use phrases like "Read on to find out more!" because they want to keep readers engaged and encourage them to continue reading. It’s a common tactic in marketing, blogging, and even journalism to build curiosity and prevent people from clicking away.
That said, it can feel annoying or unnecessary, especially if the content is already interesting or if it’s obvious that reading further will provide more details. It’s often a filler phrase, much like "Stay tuned!" or "You won’t believe what happens next!"—it doesn’t add much but tries to create suspense.
Do you find it particularly frustrating in certain types of content?
yes especially if people have nothing to share
ChatGPT said:Yeah, it’s the worst when it’s just empty hype with no real substance. Like when an article says, "You won’t believe this amazing secret to success!" and then just tells you to work hard and stay consistent. No secret, just fluff.
It’s even more annoying in videos where they drag things out forever before actually getting to the point.
In short: it is a filler phrase like "greetings", "how are you" and it adds nothing except for a higher word count.
