I did not notice it but I think that’s because, as others observed, ignoring errors is just part of social media these days. Of course, that probably makes it easier to make errors, as well.
I’ve mentioned this on Lemmy before, but when I was a kid we had an afternoon tradition of going through a series of books that would offer puzzles, mindbenders, that kind of thing. One of these that I fairly distinctly remember was reading a paragraph then determining what error had occurred within it. The error was that the word “the” was repeated, but it was hard to notice because it happened over a line break. After the book declared it nearly impossible to notice, I tried to train myself to look for duplicate words over line breaks so as to not get tricked again … But, successful or not, that didn’t help me here.
