pre-proffering perusal

A.k.a. "comments checking" --- i.e., da standard-consideration act of first scanning da typed entries dat other viewers have posted regarding a YouTube video or Facebook image before you yourself "state da fairly-obvious" from yer own keyboard, just in case one or more other similarly-observant/studious folks have also realized/opined similar info as you did, and have already mentioned it there; doing so not only saves space by not cluttering it up with multiple comments dat basically say da same thing, but it also saves you the trouble of composing a comment of your own.

Performing a "triple-P" --- i.e., pre-proffering perusal --- does not arbitrarily mean dat you have to forego da heady pleasure of adding a few words of yer own, of course, but it allows you da heads-up regarding what to write so as not to bore/irritate other readers --- i.e., you certainly can indeed be da one to point out something if no other presently-posted comments say it, but if you see a similar observation/opinion already posted, you should instead just perform da "mutually-Doctor-Feelgood" task of posting a "yeah, I was just gonna say that, too" approving acknowledgement on da first person's comment; it both allows you to gleefully voice your own piece and lets da first commenter know dat you agree with and praise his own literary composition.
