Why Do Some People Type Like This? Is It A Special Font? I Can't Bear To Read Anything Like This Because I can't reconcile why it's being done and oh my how much energy it must take if it's not some type of weird font for advertising or titles. Even so, not every word gets capitalized.

Isn't it obvious?
The reason they type like that is because they failed to pay attention during English lessons, beginning....probably...in 3rd grade, and then they continued their inattention through whatever grade was their terminal year in school.
These folks essentially fall into the same category as the people who insert an apostrophe into plurals, and who omit apostrophes in possessives. All of this was included in their English curriculum, but--for whatever reason they rationalized at the time--they failed to see the importance of learning these basic language rules, and now they haunt online blogs in order to disseminate their...wisdom.
I've never seen any writing like that, except in titles, where it is proper. Technically, even the titles to threads in this forum ought to have all words capitalized. Given that, the use of all initial caps is less, not more prevalent than it ought to be. Even more annoying are people who never capitalize anything, even the beginning of a sentence or a proper name.
I bet nobody who capitalizes all words is a touch typist. That can be done easily only by 2-finger typists. Two-finger typists are also revealed by the use of & and @ and b4 and cuz. For a touch typist, it is a lot easier to just type "and", than to look down at the keyboard and search for & and hit the shift key.
Revealed?!?! Really?!?! You mean I'm at risk of being "outed" as a "two-finger typist?" Should I join a support group and/or get counseling for this egregious affliction? If I employ two more fingers in my typing will the affliction then be called "four-finger typist?"
OH NO!! I've got "the two-finger typist!" Maybe there's a vaccine for this .

LOL - I couldn't resist using "the" (inside joke from another thread).
