I've run across it once in a while. Mostly in fanfic that's not been formatted properly. Although there was one person in a forum that didn't believe in paragraphs, punctuation nor capital letters when they posted. Otherwise, I don't think I've run into any where it was done on purpose.
Can't stand it when I do run across it. I don't want to have to slow down and spend time figuring out if something was actually said out loud, or just thought. You may think someone's a bitch, but not actually say it to their face. I'm not fond of having to stop and figure those things out. That's the author's job, not mine.
