Agreement does not need to be contentless and therefore spam. It can fill in holes in the argument, take a different perspective(helping a different segment of the reading population), add specific details to the argument that were glossed over and much more.
I will probably always find a discussion consisting of “you are brilliant” type statements extraordinarily boring.
It sounds like you have a problem with lack of content more then you do with agreement. I am sure you would find contentless disagreement just a boring.
Agreements are a lot more often contentless, as a rule. When disagreeing, people feel motivated to include some reasons, and even if they don’t, the one who was disagreed with feels motivated to ask for the reasons. But in principle you are right that my objections don’t primarily aim at agreement.
