I call these “nod posts”. They’re posts that make you nod in agreement rather than prompting you to say something like “Oh, I didn’t realize that before but I’m glad that I do now!”
I think there is often a fair amount of value in reading nod posts though. They can deepen your understanding of a topic, remind you of something important, give you more frames and mental models to utilize, amongst other things. I agree that such posts are overrated though, in terms of the karma they get and, relatedly, how much priority they get in the feed.
