It's interesting that there are a variety of English accents, with differing connotations for Americans.
YouTube channels that make informative, content-driven videos tend to demand English accents from their voice talent. For videos about nature, history, technology, geography, any content where a viewer's enjoyment and engagement will be improved by trusting the video's sincerity and veracity, (certain) English accents rule.
But the article mentions young Americans adopting (presumably different) English accents when they are aware of being insincere or demanding.
To some extent this must be down to Americans receiving English class stereotypes and internalizing them as different roles they can play.
