i don’t bother to simplify it even though i probably should since people hate it so much they try to take their anger out on me.

I don’t think you have any need to simplify, but some more punctuation would definitely help with the readability of your comment

It doesn’t matter what you’re writing, using plain language doesn’t mean you’re dumbing it down. It makes it easier to read and understand what you’re trying to say. You can take corporate jargon as the opposite of this. It can be vague, different people will have different definitions of certain words.
