Treat them like any other muscle. If you want profoundly visible brick abs then yeah.
If you wanted a shredded back you wouldn't skip back exercises in favor of dieting down to a size where your back looked more defined. So why do it with abs?
3-4 times a week is overkill though especially if you do compound stuff (particularly pullups)

Have you ever seen an Olympic weight lifter or competitive power-lifter do core-specific exercises, e.g. sit-ups, crunches, roman chair leg lifts? Their core is already strong so they don't need to do additional exercises that specifically target the abs. Their ab muscles are worked indirectly from their exercises.
You can do them if your core is weak like from injury.
But don't do core exercises thinking that you can flatten your abs.

Ab work is in the same category as eating vegetables to me
I know I should but I feel/look ok so fukk that shyt. I have good posture so I think my abs are OK. I will really see how they are once I get lean.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
Exactly. I used to do an entire day just for abs
But I switched up routine when I got up with these new gym buddies
I don't do too many ab exercises, (plank variations, renegade rows, hundreds and leg raises)...my other workouts, (like squats no shyt) engage it enough.
I still focus on dieting down more than anything...I have a hard fukking six pack that hidden under a thinning shroud of gelatin
