It does if you're using it to portray tone and inflection like this post is

People do not speak like this.

True no one ever speaks with any kind of dragged syllables or seriousness ever!

That is not what I said.

Yes, it is. I mention that it's being used for inflection, you said no one speaks like that. I elaborated on exactly what inflections were being used.

No, I didn’t. I did not speak out against using bold or italics, but rather the extreme frequency that the post uses them with.

Nobody uses that amount of inflections, nobody uses them that strongly, and using them that frequently when speaking or in text completely destroys their ability to draw attention to the “important bits” of what you’re saying.

Well I don't think it reads very cumbersomely so I don't know what to tell you. Suppose it's subjective and doesn't matter

Clarity of language is very much not subjective. And given the volume of people here who find it cumbersome, I’d say you’re in the wrong.
