It's just new slang like mfw, few, fml, catfish, dm, etc It's helpful to have a sort of common language over so many cultures by all sharing internet culture. When you see something like 'okay, but also' you know that likelu even is the point, that there is something they wanna put out there that they know wouldn't have a normal opportunity to and it's being playful about it not taking themselves seriously.

Oh wait was that a rhetorical question?

Not rhetorical. Seriously asking.

Okay cool, I hope you get more answers and opinions than just mine then!

Yeah, I think it’s kind of just a way to be like “OKAY, SEGUE TO RANDOM CRAZY THOUGHT”. Like it makes it seem a bit more zany too me while also acknowledging that without more context the post seems kind of unhinged.
