Probably

If you’re using social media, you’re probably using hashtags.

If you’re using hashtags, you’re probably using multiple words.

If you’re using multiple words, you’re probably putting them in a string.

If you’re putting them in a string, you impact everybody’s ability to read it.

If you’re impacting everyone’s ability to read it, you’re adversely affecting neurodivergent people and those using screen readers.

If you’re adversely affecting those with neurodiversity and using screen readers, you’re probably not capitalising each word.

If you’re not capitalising each word, you are not being very inclusive. 

If you’re not being very inclusive, you can probably do better!
