Most messaging apps nowadays have read reciepts, a feature that shows the sender when the recipient opened the app and looked at their message. Being “left on read” means the recipient looked at the message but didn’t bother to reply.
Unread generally means they never saw the message. Maybe they had no internet connection or their phone battery was flat, so they couldn’t read the message yet.
Left on read means they saw the message (as verified by a read receipt) but didn’t respond, usually indicating they don’t want to respond, which could be for dubious reasons. Two very different scenarios.
“Stop leaving me ‘unread’” isn’t even a grammatically correct sentence. Instead of thinking it was something they weren’t aware of, they assumed the writer was both spelling things wrong and using poor grammar, in lieu of any evidence.
