Because people are illiterate.

Get hype
Makes no sense, bad grammar even for slang.
Sounds like hype is a noun.

"Get hype," on the other hand, is just lazy. Here we see a pretty key verb inflection just thrown by the wayside because somebody found it difficult to contort his mouth into a "D" sound. It adds nothing to language and it's destructive rather than creative
Inflection and conjugation is something that seems to be difficult for more and more young people. The English language that we all speak seems to be degrading at an alarming rate. I’ll give an example:
2000s: “The guys were in the mall today and they were showing their new gear”
2010s: “homie all up in da mall reppin them new threads ya herd meh”
2020s: “omby real witchoo bruh shown up frontin y’all ain’t no what goin on fo real”

My 14yo daughter recently explained it to me. It loosely translates to "you can bet on it" The only appropriate uses are simply "Bet" or "aight, bet" For example I told her I'd take her to get her nails done if she waxed my truck. Her response was "aight, bet"

The same thing applies for bias vs. biased, and that's something I see far more frequently (including on this board).
