As someone with a mild enthusiasm for linguistics and phonetics, I like it. My only complaint is not using eth too.
I can’t imagine the inconvenience is much different than emojis or emoticons.
But in any case it seems more like a gimmick than an cry for attention, certainly not as much as a whole picture (invisible to screen readers I imagine) targeted at them in retaliation. I don’t get the hate, and the “This person just wants attention!” Seems way more performative and attention seeking.
It’s annoying and screws up screen readers.
Ask me how I know.

Got an image I can post that says “ignore this person’s gimmick”? Cause I’ll start using that instead.
Why would I have that? Other people’s gimmicks are their own business and I have no interest in seeking attention myself by calling attention to them.
Then I’ll continue to post what I have.
Suit yourself, I hope it brings you the attention you so desperately seek.
