Why is the Hartlaub -Charlick Gambit so common now??

I've played against it 3 times today, never seen it before in my life. Did somebody recommend it? I can't find a popular recent Youtube video.

It goes

1. d4 e5 (Englund Gambit)

2. dxe5 d6

Unfortunately the Englund Gambit has been made popular by streamers: Gotham Chess, Eric Rosen, the Butcher and Aman Hambleton’s Undefeated Queen Sac Opening.

I use to play the Englund to shut down the London System on move one, little theory and for the quick tactical games.

Playing the 1500-1800 bracket players, I moved onto the Indian Game for dynamic play and winning chances.
