I'm certain that video probably got a lot of likes from folks who didn't get the irony which is probably why the algorithm associated you watching it with that crowd. (Also I'm really sus about the whole "joking about being a hateful prick" industry, but I'll assume your assessment is spot on here.)

I suspect that's the answer. You look at the comments on here on something that is an obvious joke, like the one on linked in lunatics about someone changing their occupation to "inmate at prison".

There were some utterly unhinged comments from people not realising the person was making a joke at their own expense.
