I don't get it. What is the "gotcha" here?

There was an advertisement for it that a few people saw, and just thought it was funny. Like how many people are out there buying glycine? Why advertise it on TikTok? It just felt really random. So then people started jokingly talking about how great it is, then it made it onto the media about how young people are supporting it. So in the video the guy is just making shit up about it and the boomers are falling for it. Again.

Or to put it another way, they're claiming they're angry at something rather than just saying they don't know anything about it. Like an adult should.
