e-celebs
Digital fame seekers
E-celebs are internet celebrities—people famous primarily through online platforms rather than traditional media.
The term often carries a dismissive or mocking tone, suggesting their fame is lesser or more ephemeral than "real" celebrity: I don't care what some e-celebs think about politics.
Common on forums and social media where users discuss YouTubers, streamers, and influencers.
