Just like you’re seeking attention by calling it out? Some people are just interested in linguistics, God forbid people have fun being quirky. Who does it hurt?
As someone with a mild enthusiasm for linguistics and phonetics, I like it. My only complaint is not using eth too.
I can’t imagine the inconvenience is much different than emojis or emoticons.
But in any case it seems more like a gimmick than an cry for attention, certainly not as much as a whole picture (invisible to screen readers I imagine) targeted at them in retaliation. I don’t get the hate, and the “This person just wants attention!” Seems way more performative and attention seeking.
Not this guy with his use of “th”. This is more attention seeking.

It’s annoying and screws up screen readers.
Ask me how I know.

Got an image I can post that says “ignore this person’s gimmick”? Cause I’ll start using that instead.
Why would I have that? Other people’s gimmicks are their own business and I have no interest in seeking attention myself by calling attention to them.
Then I’ll continue to post what I have.
Suit yourself, I hope it brings you the attention you so desperately seek.
