I, like @sonyasupposedly , have a really spastic reaction to this. For me, it often manifests when people give me unsolicited advice (farm or otherwise).
Their gentle, friendly "you can use deck screws" reads to me as "you obviously don't know that you can use deck screws". https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1275154530611548160 …

Hypothesis: the topic of the conversation is not the conversation itself/people liking you/the conversation/paying attention to the thread. Thus, it is rude to change the subject in the middle of the conversation. That being said, I find most of your threads interesting.

Because they can‘d read you like they can NTs. My junior staff were prone to that. Figured some were showing off new knowledge to the others (not to me), others were really asking a question. Over time I found *no* response at all was the best. Soon I hardly noticed it.

IRL, people will often say "yeah", "uh-huh", "right" to indicate they're listening (See, Backchannel (linguistics)). Maybe online, extroverts want to express the same pattern, but single word responses seem to short, so it gets stretched out into meaningless interjections.

this is clearly your followers' fault, they're under the mistaken impression that they're on a peer-to-peer social media platform rather than a one-way one-to-many broadcast platform.

Normie words are a carrier for subtext. Putting the subtext in the words signals that you've failed to normie and can't subtext.
