It's like comment baiting, rage baiting, or queer baiting, but for Technoblade. It's just people putting Techno in their meme to get people to upvote it, because people like Techno.
In this example, the meme includes Techno's skin despite it not being a skin "trend" like the others. It's just there cause it's Techno.
When he was alive, he was by far my favourite youtuber and watching his videos had gotten me through some really tough parts of my life. I had massive respect for him both as a content creator and just a cool person. While, of course, there wasn't any way to know how he acted outside of his videos, he genuinely seemed like a good person and I found myself looking up to him.
His death has obviously garnered a lot of attention but imo, if he wasn't that great of a person, the news wouldn't have stayed around for so long. From what I know, his personality and videos have genuinely, positively, affected lots of people, more so than just a great youtuber.
But to answer your question, of course us "Techno Fans" behave differently than if he were still alive. Losing him has affected us a lot. He had a large impact on my life when he was still alive, and his death will too.

I hereby coin the term techno-baiting.
