I just genuinely don’t get where this trend came from and what these people are tying to achieve from it? I mean artistic expression is great! But so these people actually believe that they have multiple personalities, and if so do the act the same way when they go out into society?
I’m just so..so confused..

It’s not a trend; it’s just something that’s always happened that’s being named. Although, to be fair, it was named a really long time ago at this point. The name lets youtube aggregate thousands of similar videos together, and it picks the most viewed or interacted with for the top of the list. 99% of the time that puts the most novel or inflaming thing at the top, meaning you should not regard the top results as the most typical results.
Pen chewers, finger tappers and phone cord twirlers have been a thing in every office since there have been offices. Stress balls used to be on every desk, and now it’s a bit more varied with other types of stim. Most people have at least one fun thing on their desk to mess with when they’re stressed. Stim is more common than you might think because persons on the spectrum are very common.
People who have more severe or unusual stims usually find ways to work around them. For instance a buddy of mine has a necklace under his shirt that he can chew without leaving teeth marks on the communal pens. Like most things people act more openly at home (or online) and in rl public or work they are more reserved. But if people can’t help themselves, they can’t help themselves and they may do something socially inappropriate like sing in the grocery store. Such is life.
