people love to use new words they've learnt even when they've misunderstood what they actually mean. Funnily enough, that comment has been upvoted 83 times, showing that the majority of people are either fine in using terms in wrong context or are also not aware of the correct term.

You can't really deduce what the majority of people think without knowing the raw numbers of how many people saw it.

I suspect the majority probably didn't vote it at all

sure, there are people just leeching, but something objectively wrong usually gets more downvoted than upvoted.
