A person who has very little understanding of a sport, and thinks that he can make up this lack of understanding with a great knowledge of irrelevant, unnecessary statistics. Instead of actually watching "his team's" games, or ever attempting to play the sport, this person spends a great deal of time on the internet looking up ridiculous statistics. So while this person has the ability to recall a great deal of stats, he is still for the most part ignorant and not a real fan, just an internet fan. When real fans are actually discussing the sport, an internet fan usually butts in with some irrelevant statistics thinking he will sound smart, but really sounds like a jackass, and a straight up noob. Similar to a Sport Snob, but with less understanding of the game and even more of a tool.

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.
