Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.
The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

Teddy Roosevelt- reading a biography of this man is like reading a manual on how to be a BAMF, not only did he kick ass his entire life, with such BAMFness as giving a two hour speech with a bullet in his chest, but death had to take him in his sleep because if he had been awake he would have kicked deaths ass.
