updated image to not have ampersand at end
Sep 21, 2018 at 14:37 comment added usul Nice. This is quadratic growth because the j-th quote adds O(j) new characters, so we get big-O of 1+2+...+n = O(n^2). You can see this from the picture where the triangle's height is the number of quotes n and its width is O(n), so its area is O(n^2). The other non-Mathjax answers seem to be only linear growth (the billion-laughts MathJax one is exponential).

Sep 20, 2018 at 23:26 comment added bta @SvenWritesCode - True. You can also replace the trailing & with ! to get the same effect.

Sep 20, 2018 at 0:18 comment added bta If you add ! before the ampersand, then the last level of blockquote will get ` class="spoiler"` added to it. Add it to any other level and it shortens the output, though.

Sep 19, 2018 at 22:27 comment added ilkkachu The funny thing here is, that the blockquotes nicely overflow the article column at least in the editing preview.

Sep 19, 2018 at 21:07 comment added LambdaBeta Try plotting the results as you increase the '>' count. I wonder if the renderer will also add the formatting spaces...
