I definitely prefer /s over this style of sarcasm.

I'd much rather "/s" than this. Though the difference may be small, this text reads as sardonic, while sarcasm may not always be meant in a mocking tone. Plus readability is important to me.

tHiS is only useful for short phrases. Saying more than one sentence in this style makes me just skip the paragraph because it's annoying to read.
