It's a way of allegedly poisoning AI bots scraping your comments. Which may or may not be true, but IMO all it does is make the comment harder to read, being an annoying thing in general
And it doesn't work at all.
Try running it through any AI, it'll spit it back perfectly fine without those stupid characters.
Sorry, don't mean that to be aimed at you, it's just so stupidly annoying).
Oh no I agree, at best it's just pretentious behavior designed to make it look like they are making a difference and at worst just annoying to see and read
Oh, weird. Thanks
