I think it's an affectation more than anything else. For an educated person typing on devices with, at a minimum, autocorrect for capitalization, I think it has to be a conscious choice. The worst part of me says it is ego/arrogance played off as a casualness or being beyond triviality.

Agreed.
"Look, world, I care so little about being dumped, I don't even need to make an effort. Plus, I've got brains and more money than I can count."
Next level: Bond villain.
Maybe if all his posts before today weren't all lowercase.

That makes it even worse. So well-known and so much responsibility, yet so little care. If he can't even be professional when tweeting, why should we trust him with more? Probably good he's gone.
or maybe they know that using capital letters and such is just a convention that doesnt hinder understanding of text.
if you could read my comment then i've proven my point.
> typing on devices with, at a minimum, autocorrect for capitalization,
posting from a windows laptop and Firefox, i get no autocorrect for grammar like capitalization. only firefox was detected as a work that needed to be capitalized.
