> "I don't spent it on artificially generated responses" This is no more artificial or disrespectful than a person looking across the room, catching your eye, and giving you a nod and a thumbs-up. > "I do view it as disrespectful (more precisely, lacking discretion) that the sender decided to waste my time by making me look at and hit delete on their message." If they'd replied with a full email saying "gotcha" or "understood" or "like it" you'd have to waste your time looking at it and hitting delete. (In Microsoft ecosystem, this doesn't happen, reactions appear on the original email like Github reactions appear on comments in issues - it's nice).
