    I’ve seen it a lot on the internet, used for emphasis in a different way than italics.

    It feels closer to bold but I couldn’t find anything online about it

    (aside from a wikipedia page offhandedly calling it ‘capitalization for signification’)

    minor note

    the parenthesized text is meant to go with the previous blurb but it was hard for me to read (the ‘wall of text’ effect) so I separated it
