^I'm gonna semi-agree. I can see it if someone has anxiety/a harder time reading people (bc I've felt the same way before and it took a while to tell what's rude and what's neutral or jokes). But if they're not in that boat it's kinda rude to assume "anyone who doesn't speak in a 'nice' way is mean" before knowing them
OT: idk how to describe it outside of "youtubers trying to be meta/sub-baiting". Joking about likes & pleasing the YT algorithm are overdone to hell and back, and even it feels like people trying to guilt-trip their viewers into subbing. Like those "Most of my viewers aren't subscribed to my channel so if you could please subscribe to me that would be great" plugs. They're annoying, fishy af when the stats they're showing look almost exactly the same as everyone else's, adds to the 'fluff' time/time before getting to the actual video but smh it's youtube and the next sub-bait trend is probably gonna be worse
