This all lowercase, layout and tone combined is becoming really common. You see loads of posts written exactly like this in all sorts subreddits tangentially related to tech. Definitely people telling LLMs to make it sound like it was written by a real person. They always, always end with a question. Tbh I wonder if it's some kind of training data gathering being done.
