Why do people delete read requests of stories and review the poems?

It's annoying! I should do what everyone else does, and spam people's private messages to get them to read my stuff, like everyone else does.

As someone who neglects read requests often do to me having little time to read, since I am always writing and editing and having little care to read in the first place I can kind of understand where people are coming from. You see poems are faster, which means they can review more of them in less time. This way they can keep their friends happy with reviews and reviewing them. I think that (although you should try to review people) if people really like your writing they will read you no matter what. It is just the fact that people are lazy, but spamming people isn't right. I ignore spams, and block them if it happens over and over. So I wouldn't recommend that.

Spamming is just a massive pain in the behind. I usually end up deleting/blocking people who continuously do that to me. I have a life outside of a computer and don't have time to read everything. Besides, I'd much rather find something I fancy reading.

Well, Ashley said it mostly. I mean, I do that and that's part of the reason I stopped receiving read requests. I am lazy and I have a life outside my computer. Poems are so much easier and shorter to read because there can be so much, yet a lot of interpretations, a lot of things to say. That's what others do too. When looking at a poem, all a person has to do is talk about how beautiful it is and how wonderful, and how it brings up certain feelings (that are probably not even true)! A lot of poems basically have the same theme: sadness, heart ache, which there's nothing wrong with that, but there's too many.
