This "species" can often be seen scrolling endlessly in their Instagram feed, spending no more than one second per post or story.

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.

The current largest demographic of social speedsters are: Gen Z, Millennials.

Get the Social Bug mug.When someone walks into a room and seeds an argument over an intentionally dividing subject, and gets everyone upset with each other, and then casually leaves as the arguments continue to brew.
A group of close co-workers and I were having lunch in the cafeteria, when out of nowhere, Karen from accounting walks through and says "It's perfectly natural for Tom Brady to kiss his son on the lips.".

Karen is a master at social cropdusting; she does it all the time. Karen is a bitch.
