The most extreme virtue-signal is to go completely browser-default and have no styling whatsoever. Like lowercasing because your pinky can't be arsed to reach for the shift-key even though you've a billion dollars in series A.

lowercasing everything -- just means

you're literate smart... poetic; because

you read e.e.cummings

and william carlos

williams

...

fin.

I've mostly stopped caring about using using proper capitalization, commas, grammar and spelling in my writing of comments, primarily as a signal that i'm not an llm.

I've worked on several projects where people looked at the site, which was simple and straight to the point, and people would straight up tell me they didn't take it seriously because it didn't have these performative UI things on it. It's like when a Youtuber's audience complains about how they're constantly asking you to subscribe. The reason it happens is because the statistics say it works.

Same for clickbait thumbnails, people hate them, and yet don't really click on non clickbaity ones.

Claude's "write me a product description like a cool human would" is just using lower-case where it shouldn't be though.
