Lengthened "yes" used to signal real enthusiasm rather than mere confirmation. The trailing S's scale with excitement — "yess", "yesss", "yessss". Used to celebrate someone else's good news ("yess girl"), to acknowledge a correct guess ("yesss exactly"), or to hype up a moment in a sports stream ("yess he scored!"). The plain "yes" has become almost flat in casual texting; "yess" is the new neutral.
