Top definition
(n) a suppression of certain types of definitions without explanation on a supposedly free Internet forum
Sometimes new definitions submitted to this website become ghost posts; this is a form of Urban Censorship. One tends to wonder why a short and simple definition for one-termer was confirmed but never posted while a huge definition for Operation Iraqi Freedom that rambles on an on for several pages is allowed to remain.

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.

When you can't get your definitions in (DEFINITIONS, not Posts!) onto this website because of something that is disapproved with the UrbanNazis. Also when definitions are automatically erased/deleted without the long Removal process. Also see UrbanVortex or Urban Dictionary Word Limit.
Example of this is the Janet Jackson Superbowl Thing. For weeks, no one can define that on here. Likely a Treacle Effect from Viacom (which owns CBS, which played the Superbowl) down to this very website.
