I’m sure there are other groups that do it too, but I’ve noticed it most often from christian apologists, probably in part case I like listening to debates/discussions with them from atheist youtubers, but I’ve also noticed it talking to christians myself.

It always feels super weird to me, but that’s also coming from someone who feels weird with eye contact and saying other peoples names, so maybe it’s just me. Has anybody else noticed it, or are there other people you’ve noticed that do that? Does it seem weird to you?

    It’s a sales technique, when someone calls your name often, your brain is fooled to consider the person closer than they really are, making you a little more likely to buy the product/idea they’re selling. Not effective on its own, but you can be 100% sure it’s not the only technique they’re using on you and all the small bits add up eventually.

      I’m definitely not one this works on. It just turns me off and makes me a lot less likely to trust you. I read through that BS pretty quickly.
