Not it doesn't. Did an Ai slop this story too?
It's an obsolete usage of "beg" that's now preserved only in that particular set phrase. One of English's many linguistic fossils, which you should learn more about before trying to critique anyone's language use.

Why post the same comment?
Fair question.
That user goes around issuing weird and pointless corrections to other people's comments, even sometimes to the point of personally insulting people who make grammatical or spelling errors – often common ones that non-native speakers make, so I thought it'd be funny to do the same in turn, since their comment history is filled with much of the same.
I wouldn't usually do it, it's a pointless exercise IMO.
Can take the user off reddit, but the reddit never leaves the user
