I just want to say that this is a really interesting comment and set of ideas. I'm a PhD student in the area of privacy and anonymity, so I think about this stuff a lot. To your point about the emergent style of Reddit and HN comments, developed through the timely feedback of upvotes, I've often wondered how tools like suggested or predictive text are changing writing styles; like when I'm tapping out a quick email or text message on my Android phone and the keyboard suggests the next word that I probably wouldn't have come up with on my own, but it sounds good enough or better so I accept it. I thought the analysis that people have done on the writing style of Satoshi Nakamoto was the most persuasive evidence of his real identity, and I think you're correct that someone could now mask or morph their writing style in a very convincing way with these tools.
