What's lit/ consensus on namedroping? Is it good, bad, ok?

As Tolstoy once said, 'It's the best, my nigga.'

I find it really shallow.

Women do it because they're old.

I mean in Art in general

it's better to drop the quote and let them think you're insightful as fuck

It's pretentious and screams "Please acknowledge how well-read and educated I am". Only self-conscious cucks namedrop, real fuckers just make implications and hints.
