None of your replies even address the weird spaces before commas thing. I've directly asked people on Reddit and the answer is always idk if they even reply at all.

I see this more often from people for whom English is a second language. Maybe that’s the case here?

It might be, but they can never explain why. Is there some other language that does this? I don't know of one.

Auto insertion of space in mobile keyboards. Usually they also remove the preceding space when you press enter, but if somebody manually presses space after an automatic insertion of space then you get double spaces and only one will be removed

In German, the practice of inserting a space before punctuation marks is called Plenken. It used to be a common practice, but nowadays it is considered an error.
