it's helpful to know what I've already read. if it's not a shit reply, it gets a bear. ofc, this means I read shit replies multiple times and get angry all over but at least I know what's probably new (to me).
you get a bear, and you get a bear, and you get a bear, and everyone gets a bear.
Sometimes I go on auto-pilot mode and upbear every post I see on a thread and then I have to go back an unbear the shit replies.
