Is this silent treatment that you mention purely an online thing, or does he do it IRL as well? Honestly, when someone exhibits this type of behavior (i. e., ghost and come back), it is a tell-tale sign that you are dealing with a narcissist or a player.
This question might be a bit personal, but did you get intimate with him? If so, I'd suggest you to not mull over this as he is clearly using you for his sexual gratification. I assure you, any man worth your time will never play such childish mind games. Do you have romantic feelings for him or is it platonic? I dealt with a guy like this once and the BEST way to make this stop is to cut them off completely.
He either came across those godawful YouTube videos on the "best" ways to win over a girl and was naive enough to believe/follow them OR he is just a manipulative assholes who gets an adrenaline rush by playing with your feelings.
My perspective? Mirror his behavior and cut him off.

Silence makes you uncomfortable, as if you did something wrong
I hate that too. Total disregard and like I’m not there. I dated someone like that who would do that, disappear for a full day evening, and I was staying mostly at her place then. I stopped going (outside key hid) after the first disappearing act for two days. All I got on text was a 🤬 like 5 days no contact. I’ll never forget that gut, heart, and gasp. I hope yours isn’t so heartless. Third time that sort of thing happened I got out. Sorry, didn’t mean to dump on you.
Because humans need other humans to speak to them. That's normal for just "regular" relationships. It hurts exponentially more if it's someone we care about because not only are we not having the need met, we're literally rejected by the person we want the words from.

Becuae it denies ones existence. I let it be known in the beginning of all relationships, that should she choose to use the childish idiotic manipulative tactic that is the silent treatment, that it is over in an instant.. Same with withholding sex or affection as punishment.
