No, "for the lulz" was originally a corruption of L-O-L (yes I am referencing that meme) which originally went LOL -> LOLZ -> LULZ.
Lulz simply means 'funnies' or 'fun;'. "You did it for the lulz" = you did it because you thought it was funny. I do not subscribe to people who over-analyze trolling subcultures to
Neon Genesis Evangelion levels, because a lot of those psychological/political/mythical/other 'deep' explanations are often copouts to be an a**hole to others OL (this references the url link to 'Malwebolence' I made earlier & ther things.
Phrasing this another way, "I did it for the lulz" is 2000s netspeak for "I did it for the kicks", which is what some other people might understand. Replace with "s**ts and giggles", "laughs" or whatever else you recommend.
