Is this some meme where “may” is being replaced with “might”, or some word substitution gone awry? I don’t get it.

Clearly the author wrote the article with multiple uses of "may" and then used find/replace to change to "might" without proofreading.

Or May in another language?

		Or non native English speaker who pronounces "may" the same as "might" and didn't realize the difference? It is maybe not coincidental that "may" and "might" mean nearly the same thing which bolsters the case for auto correct gone awry.
