yep, I came up with promptfans (as a reference for describing all the weirdos who do free PR and hype work for this shit), and then @skillsissuer came up with promptfondlers for describing those that do this kind of bullshit

(and promptfuckers has become to collective noun I think of for all of them)

and then I guess "promptfarmowner" would be saltman etc?
