The observation that the hurdle of performing in front of live audiences has been removed by social media, and that this opens up performing to more personalities, is a good one. However, I don't equate willingness to perform in front of audiences with standard extraversion. Performance is removed from reality and very different than the give and take of normal social interactions. As an introvert, you are swept away, and then there is the later feeling of, "Oh my God, what have I just done?" Performing has as much to do with liking attention as it does with truly being sociable. Which isn't to put a negative connotation on it: isn't there something wonderful about the self-possession it requires? Natural performers are charismatic, and I like charisma.
Maybe the idea of pet peeves has developed not only because they are about small things, but because they are supposed to be limited in number. When you say you have a pet peeve, the implication is, "This is just one quirk of mine! I don't actually have hundreds of pet peeves, or endless pet peeves. In fact, I'm not actually peevish!" A fat chance of that, though!
