‘Prolly not’ is an abbreviation of the sentence - ‘probably not’ when someone says this, it’s neither a yes or a no, the person is more than likely not sure.

This is a colloquial version of the word "probably", in common usage in the upper Midwest, especially those areas of Wisconsin whose populations were drawn from German-speaking immigrants like Milwaukee and Madison. Definitely predates Internet.

Shortened version of "probably". Typically used in online conversations, although REALLY lazy people have started using it in verbal conversations as well...

A spoken colloquialism that existed pre-internet, despite what many people claim.
"Prolly" is a clipped pronunciation of "probably"; compare with "g'day" as a clipped pronunciation of "good day", or "gonna" as a common spoken shortening of "going to".
Certainly non-standard, but not necessarily indicative of the writer's laziness. For some, writing in this manner mimics their natural speech pattern/dialect.
