Internet and text messaging shorthand for 'you'd' — a contraction of 'you would' compressed further for digital communication. Part of the informal register of early internet and SMS shorthand where typing effort was at a premium. Less common now that autocorrect and predictive text handle contractions, but still used in casual, fast-moving digital chat.
