"Спасибочки!"

This showed up on a comment for a music video on Youtube. It seems like a diminutive of "Спасибо", but I'm not sure what the feeling behind it. I've never heard of a diminutive of "thank you". Even in Spanish, "graciasitas" sounds really odd and I've never heard anyone say something like that. Could it be a plural?

If someone says this word to you, what does it mean? What are the implications behind it? Is it supposed to be cute?

Many thanks to everybody that responds. :)

I cannot imagine anyone saying that not jokingly.

But jokingly one says that спасибочки quite often with any IQ...

Exactly, that's what I think too. But people here are trying to convince me that it is normal to use that in serious context.

I don't think YouTube is a serious context. :)
