I've seen plenty of quote posts circulating with high consistency and used them myself with a high success rate
For exactly one thing: putting a CW on something that "goes viral" with no extra text, because the OP did not
I would also note that IME the quotability of others (Mastodon tries to do it implicitly on link paste now, which I don't like but do get) seems based more on their home server's fedi software than any obvious pattern of user preference
