"yy webhook" is much less clear. It could just as easily mean "why webhook" as "yes webhook".

It's also actually more trouble to formulate abbreviated sentences than normal ones, at least for literate adults who can type reasonably well.

I confidently assume that the model has been trained on an ungodly amount of abbreviated text and "yy" has always meant "yeah".

For me the difference is around 20 wpm in writing speed if just write out my stream of thoughts vs when I care about typos and capitalizing words - I find real value in this.
