In my opinion, it should never be there. We are communicating, and adding indicators as to what our meaning is is not very nice. It really takes away the power of sarcasm announcing that something is sarcastic.
Alas, I do not care if someone who does not understand sarcasm does not get what I mean.
The only reason I do use it is because people will then annoy me because they didn’t understand shit and what to teach me what is right and what is wrong.
You don’t know what you are talking about, research has clearly shown that sarcasm is often missed, even among people that know each other. Even between husband and wife. And note this research is on SPOKEN sarcasm, where you have hints in intonation. Written sarcasm is even worse.

If you don’t care if people get it, why then post anything?

The whole point of sarcasm is that it is unclear and people may miss it. People who get it will appreciate it, some people may miss it.
No it’s not, that’s like saying the whole point of a joke is for people not to get it.
I see you really get sarcasm.
