Speaking as an owner of five snakes, they definitely have individual personalities. Although I wonder if it’s regional too? Most of the ones where I live seem to be lazy more than anything else.
As a kid we had two instances of large rattlers getting into our house and coming after us not to mention the many times I’d come across them in tall grasses. This has given me a heavy reason to give them distance.

Weird description, rattle snakes aren’t aggressive either. Every one I’ve met has attempted to leave after announcing itself
I have definitely encountered aggressive rattle snakes. I’d be careful about assuming they’ll flee.

I had one aggressively pursue a group of us (had a dog with us but I doubt that makes a difference). This was on the top of a mountain.
