it's a peeve of mine as well. i once had a meme text thread with a book character i was unfamiliar with who used a pb and didn't have an info post. the thread was instantly flirty and i didn't mind so tagged it back a few times before i googled the character out of interest and discovered that though the pb was of a person in their 20s, the character was actually a teenager. if they'd had even a basic info post i would have discovered that earlier and not tagged them back, or opted out.
