Jargon for people who are contracted with to name-check labels because of their social media presence are referred to as **Online Influencers** (duh) and \*\*Brand Ambassadors. \*\*

ETA: but I prefer the phrase **Aspirational Douchebags** 😉

I think “The beautiful people we only see online” scans very nicely.

Beautiful people we  
only see online are  
mysteries given to  
All to enjoy

What appellation shall  
all of us lesser folk  
use to decribe them, what  
words to employ?

Internet Seraphim,  
posters who elevate  
any discussion with  
high-minded prose

“Discussion group angels” may  
flatter their egos,  
avoiding the apter  
“Attention-starved Ho’s”

Several years ago I started on a project with admittedly lofty goals and expectations. I searched for web sites and forums that I could find related material to read up on. Looking for alternate perspectives things like that. The forum I ended up spending the most time in was a philosophy forum, even though my exact situation didn’t apply here the things being dealt with were the same. I have fallen in love with philosophy. I don’t plan to learn too much about it and maybe that way I can stay in love.

Look, I don’t think you’ve quite got the hang of this phrase, sergeant major.
