Types of Internet Enthusiasts: From Scrollers to Creators Part 1: The Everyday Scroller – The Heartbeat of the Internet
Let’s be honest—before we became content creators, most of us were scrolling champions . The “Everyday Scroller” is the most common type of internet enthusiast. You’ll find them refreshing Instagram, laughing at reels, lurking on Reddit threads, watching YouTube Shorts at 2 AM, or binge-reading random comment wars they never participate in.
But don’t let the “just scrolling” fool you— scrollers are the engine that keeps online platforms running . Every like, share, and watch-time metric helps algorithms decide what content trends, what brands promote, and what creators grow. These users shape internet culture more than they realize.
Traits of the Everyday Scroller
Loves endless content without necessarily engaging much
Knows all the latest memes, trends, and internet dramas
Has bookmarked 50 recipes, used 2
Feels productive after watching a productivity video
Can describe a YouTuber’s life story without ever commenting once
Why They Matter
Scrollers are passive, but powerful. They signal what’s working —what’s funny, interesting, or worth attention. If the internet were a stage, scrollers are the audience whose silent applause fuels the show. In fact, many scrollers later evolve into creators, curators, or commentators once they find a voice or spark.
If you’re a scroller reading this, congratulations: you’re not “just scrolling”—you’re learning what works , whether you know it or not.
The Curious Clicker – The One-Link-Leads-to-Another Explorer
Ever searched “how to fix a slow laptop” and ended up watching a documentary about whales, buying a USB fan, and reading Reddit threads about alien keyboards? Yep—you might be a Curious Clicker .
These users are the internet’s natural explorers . They don’t just scroll—they click . Curiosity drives them. One tab opens another, and before they know it, they’ve got 36 tabs open, half-read blog posts, and five YouTube videos queued up. Their internet sessions are less like a straight road and more like a choose-your-own-adventure book… on shuffle.
Traits of a Curious Clicker: Starts with a question, ends up with a dozen answers
Loves link trails, recommendations, and “related searches”
Regularly goes down internet rabbit holes
Bookmarks everything… but rarely returns
Usually knows just enough about a lot of things
Why They Matter: Curious Clickers keep the web alive and weird . They’re the reason niche blogs get traffic, obscure videos go viral, and underrated creators find an audience. They feed the algorithm new connections and often become the bridge between content categories (like discovering a productivity channel through cat memes).
And guess what? Many content creators and marketers were once just Curious Clickers. Curiosity is the first step to creativity.
The Commentator – The Voice Behind the Screen
You know those people who always have something to say ? Whether it’s a YouTube video, an Instagram reel, a Reddit post, or a Twitter thread they’re in the comments, sharing opinions, cracking jokes, correcting misinformation, or just vibing with the content. These are The Commentators , and they are loud, proud, and always engaged .
Unlike scrollers or silent viewers, Commentators turn every piece of content into a conversation . Some do it for fun, some for validation, and some just love being part of the moment. You’ll find them everywhere from deep philosophical Reddit debates to savage YouTube roast battles.
Traits of a Commentator: Comments “early gang” just to feel something
Thinks in replies, not just reactions
Often more entertaining than the actual post
Occasionally starts comment wars (and finishes them)
Has a favorite creator they defend like family
Why They Matter: Commentators are the pulse of online engagement . Algorithms pick up on comments as signals of relevance. Content with active discussions gets promoted more, and creators often use feedback from comments to improve. Commentators also build micro-communities , spark discussions, and add context, humor, or support where needed.
Without Commentators, the internet would be a lot quieter and a lot less fun.
The Meme Distributor – The Internet’s Fun Delivery Guy
You know that friend who never creates original content but somehow always has the perfect meme for every situation? That’s the Meme Distributor the person who may not post much but spreads digital joy (and chaos) one hilarious forward at a time.
These are the folks flooding your WhatsApp groups, tagging you in Instagram memes at 3 AM, and sending you reels with captions like “this is so you.” They don’t care about likes, shares, or reach they just want you to laugh… or suffer secondhand embarrassment.
Traits of a Meme Distributor: - Shares memes before they trend
- Has a folder full of saved memes for different moods
- Doesn’t always credit the original creator (oops)
- Their reaction to anything serious: send a meme
- Regularly sends memes as a love language Why They Matter:
Meme Distributors are the word-of-mouth marketers of the internet age . They’re responsible for making memes go viral and pushing content into new corners of the internet. They bring humor into serious spaces and help content travel across platforms and generations . Many brands dream of being in a Meme Distributor’s forwarding queue it means their content hit.
So while they may not make the memes, they definitely make the memes matter .
The Content Curator – The Taste-Maker of the Timeline
While creators make the content, Content Curators are the ones who organize, present, and amplify the best of what the internet has to offer. They’re the “follow for good content” types—people whose social feeds, playlists, blog recommendations, or newsletters you rely on to stay updated, entertained, or inspired.
They may not produce original videos or write threads every day, but they’re incredibly valuable in shaping what others see online. Think of them as digital DJs —mixing the best clips, tweets, tools, and ideas into a stream that others love to follow.
Traits of a Content Curator: Knows how to spot trends before they blow up
Maintains themed pages or niche Instagram accounts
Shares carefully selected content with captions like “worth a read”
Uses Pinterest boards, Twitter bookmarks, and Notion lists like a pro
Has at least one secret folder of “things to post later”
Why They Matter: In a world overloaded with content, curators help cut through the noise . They make it easier for others to discover quality creators, niche topics, and useful tools. Whether it’s a Telegram channel, a TikTok page, or a LinkedIn newsletter, curated content often holds more power than raw algorithm pushes—because people trust the taste of the curator .
Many curators eventually turn into creators themselves, once they find their voice and niche. But even as curators, they play a crucial role in the online ecosystem.
The Creator – The One Who Builds the Internet We Scroll
At the end of the digital food chain is the Creator —the person who doesn’t just consume or share content, but actually makes it . Creators bring ideas to life through videos, blogs, memes, podcasts, tweets, artwork, tutorials, and everything in between. They’re the people behind your favorite Instagram pages, YouTube channels, Substacks, and even viral memes.
Creators can be full-time influencers , side-hustlers, or passionate hobbyists. What unites them is their desire to contribute , not just consume. They shape trends, start conversations, and build communities—often with nothing but a smartphone and a good idea.
Traits of a Creator: Has more drafts than published posts
Balances between “this is fun” and “this better perform well”
Obsesses over captions, thumbnails, or hashtags
Knows what works on each platform and tailors accordingly
Experiences burnout… but keeps coming back because it’s their thing
Why They Matter: Creators are the architects of the internet experience . Every scroll-worthy video, insightful thread, catchy hook, or relatable meme starts with someone deciding to put their thoughts out there. They fuel discovery, entertainment, education, and even commerce. Without creators, the internet would just be a dull spreadsheet of facts and links.
And here’s the twist: many creators started as scrollers, clickers, commentators, or curators. They just took that extra step to hit “post.” Which means, if you’re reading this, you might already be one in the making.
Conclusion: Every Internet Enthusiast Has a Role to Play
Whether you’re quietly scrolling through memes at midnight, dropping spicy takes in comment sections, curating thoughtful content for your niche, or putting yourself out there as a creator— you’re an Internet enthusiast in your own right .
The beauty of the internet is that it thrives on diversity. Some keep the vibes going, some stir up debates, and others build entire digital worlds from scratch. You don’t have to go viral or become an influencer to matter. Your clicks, your shares, your curiosity, and your contributions all shape the internet ecosystem in real-time.
So next time you catch yourself on hour two of “just browsing,” remember—you’re not wasting time. You’re participating. You’re exploring. You’re learning. And maybe, just maybe, you’re getting ready to become the next type of Internet enthusiast on this list.
Now, the real question is: Which one are you?
