What's with this silly "all lower case" style lately?

Jack Dorsey's layoff message last month did the same thing.

Is it some kind of "Prove you're not an AI by purposely writing like an idiot" or something?

What a condescending comment. It's too bad I can't vote you down.
not anti-capitalist, just a subtle preference away from capitalism
