Obv troll is obvious's definitions
Definition: someone who plows through their social media feed like some crazed madman.
This "species" can often be seen scrolling endlessly in their Instagram feed, spending no more than one second per post or story. For social speedsters, the act of sending a snap is no more than a 5 second ritualized process. Upon impulse, they whip their phone out of their pockets, instantly jump into snapchat, and without preparation, posts a selfie. And remember this is all within 5 seconds.
But the most characterizing feature that distinguishes social speedsters from regular folks is their expressionless faces when browsing emotion-inducing posts. You'd expect laughter from funny memes or a "wtffff" from controversial/disgusting posts, but nope. Just a deadpan reaction.
Some scholars suggest that social speedsters are more often than not desensitized by all the content (noise) they consume, hence leading them to form an indifferent attitude. Ultimately, the dopamine-rewarding nature of social media is what drives the insanely rapid browsing.
The current largest demographic of social speedsters are: Gen Z, Millennials.

To see an example, attend any college (post-COVID obv). You will be able to witness social speedsters and their smartphone-wielding dexterity in the flesh. Heck, you may even be one!

Get the Social speedstermug. A prison where a bunch of horny and depressed young adults are compacted into one building, you learn things you'll never use in your adult life and you take endless tests and exams for four whole years until they successfully squeeze the individuality out of your worn out body!
kid who's never gone to university: "Man I can't wait til I graduate high school and start university, the best years of my life!!!"
Senior: Hell nah that place is a living hell you don't know what you're saying.

Get the Universitymug. An emoticon commonly used by people who have autism. So if you see someone using this unironically, they are probably autistic.
Me: Wow this song is just too good
Some 14 y/o: Omg ikr, best song ever 👁👄👁
Me: Oof, sorry to hear that you have autism.

Get the Taboolamug. (Mostly applies to people who are 21 in 2020) The most boring age in one's lifetime. It's the age where nothing extraordinary happens, nor does anything lifechanging happen (both good or bad). Really, nothing happens during this moment in life.
*Me as a dad, 25 years later*
Me: Happy birthday son, can't believe you're 21 already!
Son: Thanks dad, I can finally purchase alcohol now hahahaha
Me: *chuckles* now don't get wasted okay?
Son: Hahaha, so dad what crazy stuff did you do when you were 21?
Me: Uhhhhhh..... don't remember, I don't think I really did anything to be honest... *internal sad noises*
