I write using this style for various reasons.
One, its easier for me to read from my phone, which I mostly browse the forum from. However, I have recently seen it from desktop and I sympathize a bit. But it's still not too serious.
Two, you can talk about grammatically correct all you want, but I know for a fact this is easier to read rather than a properly indented, grammatically correct, wall of text.
Three, writing this way does not hinder comprehension, if anything, It makes it easier to understand. That's why the outlining of a writing piece if often done In bullet point format. Which easily highlights main points of a composition.
Four, I see forums as conversational, not as written articles. When you're talking to someone, do you speak in paragraphs? No? You speak in individual sentences or group of sentences which expresses a point. Similar to what I, and many others are trying to recreate with said writing style.
Five, I find that people will just bítch about anything. You mention something about school? Dude, of course no one is writing papers like this. There is a difference between a paper or an article and a forum. Which is also known as a message board. And if this style is seriously impeding your comprehension, I don't think how it's written is the problem.
Maybe text messages should follow standard writing conventions as well?
Damn those millennials, they ruin everything.

As you inadvertently pointed out, we do indeed speak in paragraphs (or an analog thereof).SmooveMooves said:
The very point is that groups of sentences serve to communicate nuance of meaning. Individual, equally-weighted sentences are robotic as one sentence cannot support another. It is quite an inferior form of communication for that reason.
Most sentences do not stand alone (again as you pointed out). I would say that an important aspect of successful manhood is learning to handle language and communicate as efficiently as possible. Learning to speak and to handle the written word has gotten me very far in life. It is valuable.
