vanity trolls
Someone who writes long winded, often fraudulent statements about themselves or a loved one on the internet in hopes someone will take pity on them and publish it. Vanity trolls often have a terrible grasp of any language or writing skills and most often simply want to make you look at their genitalia for a quick laugh.
"I couldn't even find any funny stuff on the internet today, all those vanity trolls just kept submitting junk about how monolithically awesome they are. I had no idea there could be so many greatest people in the world"!
