hehe you are right. Using counts is not very efficient. It's ok for 2-3 items but beyond that is more time consuming (it's just hard to count words/characters by just looking at them).
For that particular use case, you can use pattern searches:
?{pattern}<Enter> and you're there. That in combination with n/N to repeat last search forward or backward and it's pretty much instant.
?{pattern} to search upward and /{pattern} to search downward
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
