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.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/

Trent Reznor (b. Michael Trent Reznor, 17 May,1965, Mercer, Pennsylvania, USA) is a multi- instrumentalist, vocalist, and the creative force behind "Nine Inch Nails." Reznor began the recording as NIN on 1988 in a local Cleveland Recording Studio. As the founder of NIN, he is also the only official member. NIN's music straddles a wide range of genres, it is mainly industrial and/or is usually retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. The Nine Inch Nails' logo, which consists of the letters NIИ was inspired by Tibor Kalman's typography on the Talking Heads album Remain in Light.
