why do They capitalize seemingly random Words in each Sentence?

And the , commas with , spaces on , both sides

This one kinda makes some sense. Screens and text are often small enough that properly punctuated sentences can almost feel cramped. Adding visual space helps emphasize pauses and full stops. I use hyphens often in Discord when chatting, instead of periods or commas, since comments and convos can shift pretty quickly.

I think it Was on purPose To trigger Some Grammar nazis.

A grammar Nazi takes time out of their day to give someone crap about a comma splice or argue about whether or not it's appropriate to capitalize the first word after a colon. OPs like this are not "Grammar Nazi" fodder. It's just language anarchy normalized by terminally online brainrot.

I think they were just emphasizing what they found important, like cummings. To each their own.

I guess it's a stylistic choice to express emphasis instead of using italics or bold text.

Maybe they're not a native speaker? German for instance capitalizes all nouns. You'll often find weird capitalizations in my (mobile) writing when my phone didn't correctly guess what I wanted to type. At least some words in the OPs text are German nouns (e.g. See, All), while others aren't.
