A parent or adult who puts a child on social media for the purpose of exploiting them for their own social media benefit.
That family is a social media groomer, they're posting their kids on social media and coaching them through videos for their own benefit. Have you seen the Costco dad video? He's a social media groomer

Like using a map and compass, reading the newspaper, or doing anything related to the trades.
Example:
A. I hate those social media maggots. They use their phone for everything and almost never think for themselves.
B. Okay grandpa / grandma. Have fun with that newspaper. I have followers that want to know what next video I am going to make.
A. Why do you do something that does not make any REAL money or is useful in any way. Stop being a social media maggot already!
B. I am paid in Bitcoin and through Paypal. I help people feel slightly less miserable about themselves when they watch my videos.
A. This new generation does not listen to its elders. They are all socially addicted to their apps and facebooks.
B. Ok boomer. Are you done complaining yet? I have a new online class to take thanks to skillshare.

Get the gomez mediamug. A much-hyped weather-pattern that is intended to prompt panicked locals to stock up on costly emergency-supplies (canned/dried food, flashlights/batteries, auto/heating fuel, propane, generators, snowblowers, etc.), but then no "huge nor'easter" --- or even any particularly-noteworthy weather-disturbance of any kind --- ever actually materializes, causing the frazzled residents to feel foolish and disgusted for having spent all that hard-earned money for nothing.
I didn't bother laying in emergency supplies for the supposedly major hurricane and blizzard that was announced on MSN Weather, and sure enough, there was just a little rain and slightly-chilly breezes overnight, and now it's balmy and sunny outside. Sounds like just another media storm to me... just the news-services in cahoots with the survival-supplies manufacturers to trick people into needlessly buying more of their products.

Get the media stormmug. Theres not really anything social about social media, if anything, social media encourages people to be distant from each other and in their own little world/bubble. There are people nowadays who won't do anything in life if theres not a picture or video to post and comment about.
Social media provides the illusion of being part of a large network, meanwhile some people are getting rich via this platform. There was a time before social media where people actually knew each other in real life and had actual life experience with the other person, rather than the virtual image of someone on a computer screen.
