The war is already over.

I 100% agree lowercase in longform essays is ridiculous, but I think for everything aside from essays, articles, papers, long emails, and some percentage of multi-paragraph site comments, lowercase is absolutely going to be the default online in 20 years.

So "everything that matters will continue to be written normally, but throwaway chatter will be written casually, where the specific features connoting casualness are a matter of ever-changing fashion"? Thinking back on '90s-era IRC chats, I suppose it was ever thus.
