I’ve always been curious about why people write “$$$” instead of “money”. maybe you could elaborate

[Stratoscope]

I can't speak for the person you replied to, but sometimes this is done as a way of disparaging money and the desire to have some, perhaps in the same vein as writing "Micro$oft".

I don't know, I guess it's a bit more cartoony.. The dollar sign is tightly connected to concepts like profit/capitalism etc
