On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

clippy is now a right-to-repair icon. the idea is that if lots of ppl change their YT profile pic to clippy, people in power will feel threatened and cave in. or maybe corporations will see theres a market there and make repairable devices.
