I believe it’s because green text messages used to function worse. It used to be that images and videos were lower quality and you couldnt react to txts.

Now green texts are more up to par with data driven messaging apps. I don’t know if people realize that yet or not. Also, unfortunately, of course there were people that it was a status issue. I don’t understand that.

I’m guessing the logic involved not being able to ignore it once it’s all in the middle of the floor?

Been there my friend. I still use the same tactic anyway.
