Just watched the video introduction. I don't mind people preferences regarding keyboard kind, but those noisy mechanical keyboards sounds awful, tiresome and downright aggressive when watching a recording as they stand out and sound a bit like a machine gun in an FPS. I don't need that kind of aggression, especially when it is so loud it is covering the voice of the presenter. I would appreciate it if people doing videos presentation would switch to quieter keyboard, use directionnal microphones so that only their voice is recorded or edit the sound afterwards to quiet down the keyboard frequencies out of respect to their audience. It is not hard to do.

Funny, I realized within the first few minutes that I’m not interested in Rye, but I couldn’t stop watching because I loved the mechanical keystroke sounds so much. I don’t use a mechanical keyboard for various reasons (I tried), but those sounds… (Not saying having them in the video for everyone is a good thing—I respect the fact that some people can find them annoying)

  Well you are perfectly entitled to watch ASMR videos of people typing on a loud keyboard :D I personnally do like a mechanical keyboard and the sound of them when I am using it, but don't use it much unless I am the only one at home out of respect to my kids and partner, especially in the morning[1]. And I would also switch keyboard to record a video or do a videocall as I don't want the sound of it to be so present. I think this is just a negative point on a video as it makes a busy foreground sound over what looks like a bad microphone recording in the background. That should be the opposite, the voice should be the foreground sound to your ears. [1] partner has irregular work schedule so might want to sleep longer in the morning when came late the night before.

Is this a common opinion? After watching the video I couldn't imagine why anyone would be so bothered by the keyboard sounds in it, which is maybe just a little bit too loud? And way less distracting than the bad sound quality of the microphone used (which again, is pretty easy to get over).

I really don't think this is "aggressive". You seem to be saying "I don't like the keyboard sound", which is fine, but overcharacterising isn't necessary. And writing a two paragraph comment about how easy it is to fit in with your preference appears more deliberately aggressive than anything the video does.
