Why does Idi keep threatening to quit Scratch? He doesn’t — he just evolved the tactic. Evidence shows the “I’m quitting” posts aren’t signs of departure at all, but part of a repeating strategy to pull attention, sympathy, and follows on command. The theory: “The Attention Loop.” Idi discovered that dramatic exit announcements spike engagement. Each “I’m quitting” moment triggers followers, comments, and support — far more than regular posting. By doing this repeatedly, he creates a cycle where people rush to “save” him from leaving, pushing his follower count upward while he maintains the appearance of being overwhelmed, emotional, or underappreciated. And the first piece of evidence? One of Idi’s own friends begging people to follow him, framing it as a desperate mission to prevent his departure. This perfectly feeds the loop: urgency → sympathy → followers → return → repeat. Behind the scenes, Idi isn’t quitting — he’s leveraging emotional bait to grow faster, mask personal conflicts, and keep the spotlight bright and centered. The complaints from RaVe about blame-shifting, attention-seeking, and follower rivalry? They support the idea that the quitting claims aren’t genuine, but calculated moments meant to generate fame, validation, and algorithmic traction. It’s not a farewell. It’s a strategy. An engine for attention. But hey, that’s just a theory… A SCRATCH THEORY!
the vector is lazy.
