Texan here I've heard "y'all" and "all a y'all" as in "fuck all a y'all" everyday of my life.

Iv said this as a brit since the mid 90's. The blame lands purely on Will Smith who was in pretty much everything at the time.

Same. We use "y'all" in Ohio sense we border two southern states (though Michigan uses y'all as well so maybe it's a midwestern thing as well).
My best guess is because it becomes "trendy" to use "slang" of people who redditors would never talk to in the first place. Slaps, fleek, drip, etc... all start by people with social skills and get adopted by reddit until they're tired of using it.

As a southerner I am offended by this.
"Y'all" is sacred.

Actual Southern "y'all" is still good and fine.
On the other hand, Buzzfeed-era "Y'all: Robert Pattinson just Tweeted this at his Ex and It's Fucking Great" is nauseating and horrible, like all their lingo. They even ruined the use of expletives.

IMO they likely use it to maintain their folksy façade of concerned, friendly "allies". Y'all, yikes, friendo, doggo, sweetie, folx. Like that poisonous old lady in your town that gives you cookies with one hand and backstabs you with the other.
