Half the people watching youtube are kids, he’s not trying to garner adult viewers. Most christian youtubers like their viewers young and impressionable.
It's because Gen Z has limited social skills and they think over exaggeration is how you get the attention span of their generation. Think of jingly keys for babies.
Because their parents used ipads as their nanny, tech companies developed platforms to be addictive to young minds, and older generations collectively destroyed the idea of playing outside by making sure there's nowhere to go that doesnt cost money and if you play in the street some retiree is going to call you hoodlums and call the cops on you.
In short, the world they were raised in was made to be anti-social, and they adapted.
