The journal is about a thing this person does privately for fun.

The writing style is clearly not meant for others to read either. They just did stream of consciousness out of their brain and didn't proofread. It's not meant for external consumption.

Capitalization is something you do out of respect for your reader, to make things easier for them. If you aren't intending others to read your writing, then there's no one to disrespect, so why bother?

The blog author and HN user who posted are the same person. It was meant for external consumption.

Well, it was written without care for those who might read it at any rate.

I find that capitalization certainly appeals to me more, as someone who reads a lot, but a lack of capitalization doesn't make it any harder for me to read a text, so I'm confused what the issue is here.
