Groveling is instinctive, not reasoned. Also, strangers are arguably even scarier than people you know but among whom you're the Omega.

Maybe it's about collecting information. Online status wars are becoming more competitive, so it's more valuable to have intimate knowledge of your enemies. Plus a lot of the outgroup hatred between internet personalities just seems like it's performed for clicks.
