The mentality that most people on the vlogging side of YouTube had when the site was just getting started, back before being paid for making videos was a thing and YouTube gatherings were just a bunch of nerds standing in a field. The term was first used by Jazza John (rhymingwithoranges on youtube) in a video he did with Ashley Mardell to describe people who treat their favorite content creators like people, as opposed to objects.

"Your lifestyle is funded by your sugar daddy using child labor at off-shore factories Caitlyn, you got a real settler's mentality"
2. Instagram models advocating for mental health while their income comes from an app destroying people's mental health is some serious settler's mentality.

I saw some douchebag giving the camera finger guns in his corporate picture. Nobody was around to hear me so I gave it a mental snort.
When you get into a situation where mutually-assured destructive behaviour is the only option. Superior to reckless.
“Dam bro… what’s gotten into you?”
