While I agree that I think that in most formal situations you should not write that way, I personally see no problem with a more casual writing style like that in a post like this. Seeing as it's written as the writer's personal account of their journey to regain privacy, a slightly more casual writing style is fitting. The benefit of a more expressive writing style, in this context, outweighs the potential reduction in clarity, given that most readers will be able to use context clues just fine.
As a side note, y'all shouldn't be so quick to downvote this guy. While I don't agree with his perspective myself, it's still a fair point of view to have, and it ain't like it's being written in bad faith or such. But that's just my two cents, I s'pose.
Lmao, why am I not surprised that when I see someplace I grew up around in the news, it's only for bad reasons? Still sad tho, tbh
