I get that, but counterpoint is that you don't have to react and reply to each message IMMEDIATELY. The time stamps show that the messages all were within 3 minutes of the start. If this even happened at all.
Maybe it's because I'm old, but text messages don't require an immediate reply. Take a breath and be patient.
Even if I wait, I still have to listen to multiple notifications instead of just 1. Anyone who does this gets left on read for at least an hour from me (often times I just forget entirely).
Patience is a skill that nobody sends to bother teaching their kids anymore. They just hand them a ~~pacifier~~ smart phone to shut them up.
You sound like someone who rarely interacts with young people
