What the hell? English has rules. If those rules aren't followed, it makes communication needlessly more difficult.

This isn't just a typo we're talking about. This is someone making a deliberate choice to be harder to understand because they see it as quirky and cool.

It seems to be something new generations are increasingly doing. I remember someone saying that he was texting with his gen-z child, and the child felt like properly capitalized sentences sound like they are formally chiding you. I've learnt to mirror whomever I'm talking to (e.g. on Slack at work).
