It's infuriating that it's both people being so dumb they can't understand basic grammar and people doing it because it gets more comments. Both of those things are just so shitty and disappointing.

I’ve seen it being used wrong so many times now my brain just picks the correct interpretation most of the time.

I predict the “you’re”/“your” distinction will be gone in 100 years. Maybe it’s all “you” in another 100.

I think it's more that a lot of people use voice to text and not all engines are good at telling the context for homophones.

I dunno, I feel like it could be argued that this specific stuff is a word choice thing and not a typo
