The reason for this could be that people who are smart enough to write something comprehensible is most likely not going to do so because of the risk of getting comments from brain dumping people. Social media has given everyone a megaphone - even the dumbest individuals. They keep pouring their stupidity onto the internet for everyone to see.
It also doesn't help that you have meme texts that people will drop and derail the entire point.

Gottem.
I wonder of more and more people using cellphones for social media has affected this? I use my cellphone primarily and....I definitely don't write my finest work, shall we say. The typos are aplenty too since I type furiously. I'm investing in a laptop for this very reason. I miss having more robust writing skills.
