... If you do it occasionally, when contextually appropriate... it is funny, a self aware reference to how they spend a lot of time on twitch streams, and are expressing disbelief.

When you do it all the time, reflexively, regardless of context... yeah, that may indicate that that just is your baseline norm for social interaction and you fundamentally cannot or do not distinguish between the contexts of online interaction and irl interaction.

There a whole lot of kids now who are just basically raises from near birth by screens. Parents with no free time or parents who don't give a shit just give the kid a distraction rectangle so they don't have to ... raise them.
