Yeah, or idk - maybe something like 'smarm' is what snark calls its targets, like the con-men and their 'marks'.

Every mildly Twitter famous person has a dozen screaming trolls in their mentions every day "WHY WON'T YOU RESPOND TO CRITICISM"

We don't say "smarm vs snark" much now but the current evolution of this is the fight over self-care discourse "Just log off for a while and run a blockchain on the trolls for the sake of your mental health"

Yeah, and especially because you can find plenty of valuable criticism even after ignoring all the haters. I mean, I disagree and argue with both of you all the time, and vice versa, but we're not going to war over it.

The master class in this, fwiw, is probably offered by Taylor Swift, who manages to leverage smarm, snark, and uwu at the same time.
