For me it's the latter. Once in a while I don't mind, but when it's every single character that gets named in the story it just gets annoying. To some people, infobox intro = new member. Then they take it further. I have read blogs by people who were actually convinced that Hody Jones was going to join at the end of the FI arc. I mean, COME ON, right? Who is that desperate for a new member that they try to kid themselves into thinking the arc's main antagonist is going to join? Honestly, when all the fighting blocks were introduced two chapters ago, I was surprised we didn't get bumrushed by blogs about how insert name here is going to be the next member and the writer is so sure he's willing to bet his life on it. People have just become too jumpy on the subject, like annoying hyperactive puppies. I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind if the crew got a new member, but people need to let the plot and character development actually happen before going apeshit.
