It's because of this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8003428

Someone used no whitespace in their comment to make a point.

Not a very good point, since I was able to read it anyway with only a minor slowdown.

Supposedly uppercase in English was initially used as a word separator and there were no spaces. (Caveat: I've heard this, but I'm not certain if it's actually true.)

Thx, I couldn't be bothered to find the cause.

Now i just Flag it.
