Digitally Kidnapped

Yeah! Totally! It's totally like that, isn't it? That plus the surveillance apparatus makes my life this bizarre, dystopian horror show... But the rating are probably great! So... There's that.

Something something something... Damn. I don't know how you guys be freestyling like that...."

Digital Prostitute

Someone who uses dating apps such as Tinder, Buble, Plenty of Fish, etc. to either promote their Only Fans, sell their "content", or offer sexual services for money. They often try to get you to add their Instagram or Snapchat account. They typically unmatch with you shortly after their solicitation.
High School Ian: "Did you get any matches on the app?"
College Mike: "Yeah, but they were all Digital Prostitutes, so I deleted the app."
Dave: "As you should, The Hub is free!"

Digital Nomad

A person who constantly travels (nomad) and constantly uses computers (digital). The latter usually (but not necessarily) to generate income.
But there are these categories, broadly speaking. People who ...
1. ... have a remote job that they can do from anywhere who like to travel a lot.
2. ... have (usually new) money and confuse spending that on some sort of digitally administrable business that isn't sustainable with 'entrepreneurship'. While traveling.
3. ... scam other people by selling guides for how to become one of the above. While traveling.
4. ... record themselves buying, wearing, doing stuff that makes other, equally simple-minded people jealous. While traveling.
If they amass enough of aforementioned simpletons looking at their media, they may manage to generate an income from this.
Often people are in multiple groups.
Twenty years ago you would almost only meet digital nomads from group 1.

Nowadays they seem to be the minority.
Especially people who are rich often call themselves "digital nomads" because the following, better suited terms, sound way less cool:
affluent alien
made migrant
wealthy vagabond
Granny died and left me her fortune. Finally I can become a digital nomad!

digital mullet

Business up front but messy down the back; When an organisation does a digital transformation but only does the customer facing work and not the back end systems.
XYZ corp marketing might be bragging about their digital transformation and cloud journey but the reality is they have only gotten a digital mullet.
