Social Media Researcher (SMR) 

SMR (Social Media Researcher)

Often mistaken for a stalker, but with better intentions and Wi-Fi.

A highly skilled individual trained in the art of digital observation. SMRs don't stalk - they gather data. From tracking down your ex's new fling to locating someone's high school graduation pics from 2020, SMRs use advanced techniques like clicking, scrolling, and zooming in on blurry group photos.

They're not creepy - they're curious.

They're not obsessive - they're efficient.

They don't follow people... okay, maybe they do. But only for research.
Example:

"Wait, how do you know his mom's maiden name?"

"I'm not a stalker, I'm an Social Media Researcher (SMR). Do your homework."
