This is extremely childish. I don't think about my waiter once I leave the restaurant but that doesn't mean that I won't be polite while I'm there. There are (usually) real people reading your words. That interaction is real.
It all has meaning if you give it meaning. It has no meaning to you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have meaning to everyone you're interacting with. Knowing the internet, you're probably better off not caring about the opinion of other internet posters so long as you don't feed that toxicity yourself, not that calling the internet chucklefucks is toxic, I know you're just messing around
