A mysterious online figure who magically appears in comment sections, forums, or social media threads to "clean up" inconvenient truths, criticisms, or viral claims. Armed with suspiciously specific insider knowledge ("My uncle works at Nintendo"), debunking skills sharper than a CIA fact-checker, or unwavering corporate loyalty, they aggressively dismiss anything that makes a company, government, or product look bad—regardless of evidence. Often smells like a paid shill but claims to just be a "concerned citizen" or "random expert"
Post a video exposing a scam product? Brace for the Internet Janitors to swarm like roaches—‘Actually, I tested this and it works PERFECTLY’ or ‘Fake news, my cousin’s roommate’s dog is the CEO

An internet attention seeker is somebody who will say something controversial just to get attention. They may attack the LGBTQ+ community or say something controversial such as "Pineapple on pizza is the best thing ever, anybody who disagrees sucks" and the tactics they use usually work. They are usually called a troll when somebody finds out the tactics, but the difference between a troll and an internet attention seeker is that the troll is not seeking any type of huge attention, and they will usually keep the trolls on the low.

This occurs when your preferred DNS server stops responding, or is no longer available, presumably due to your router.
When you already have a connection with another server/computer during this event, it is called "phantom internet", or internet remaining that might soon fade away due to packet loss or new requests, since new requests (usually) attempt to resolve a hostname from the unavailable DNS. Similar to phantom pain.
