nurkers

A nurker, short for "nurse" and "abuser," is a term used to describe individuals who engage in the practice of nursing, or "nursing," on social media platforms. Nursing involves repeatedly liking, commenting, or sharing content posted by a specific user, often with the intention of gaining attention, followers, or other forms of engagement from that user. This behavior can be seen as manipulative and disingenuous, as the nurker's actions are not genuine and are often motivated by self-interest rather than a genuine desire to engage with the content or the user.

Nursing can take various forms, including:

* Liking every post made by a user, regardless of the content.

* Commenting on every post made by a user, often with generic or nonsensical comments.

* Sharing every post made by a user, often without adding any additional commentary.

* Following a user solely to gain attention or engagement from them.

Nursing can be harmful to both the nurker and the user being nursed. For the nurker, it can lead to a distorted sense of self-worth and a lack of genuine connections. For the user being nursed, it can lead to a sense of being manipulated and taken advantage of, as well as a potential loss of privacy and control over their online presence.

It is important for users to be aware of the potential for nursing and to take steps to protect themselves, such as being cautious about who they follow and engage with online. Additionally, users should be mindful of their own behavior and avoid engaging in nursing themselves. By being aware of the potential for nursing and taking steps to protect themselves, users can help to create a more positive and authentic online community.
