One person does it so everybody else follows.
I think the two worst things on the internet are stupidity & attention seeking rather than bigotry or hate because even the most reasonable of people are much more capable of displaying those two traits.

I don't get it, peer pressure on the internet is like the stupidest f*cking thing ever.
In outside society, sure, but the internet?
Anyone who does something they don't want to do just to appear cool on the internet is an idiot, though it's no mystery that most internet users are idiots so you could be right.
But anyone who says those kinda things must not object to what they're saying if they're not saying it out of irony. Would a bleeding hurt liberal want to conform to a group of a racist neo cons? Of course not.
I guess the best explanation is that a lot of people just don't have any views on anything to call their own so they adopt other people's opinions out of coolness. But why anyone considers youtube commenters cool enough to imitate is beyond me.
