It is a well known, meaningful concept. If you spot someone using it the wrong way, just correct this specific person. If we trash every concept someone does not understand, we are cavemen by afternoon.

The academic inaccuracies of some internet subculture doesn't make the phenomenon less adequate to mention. I think they probably just thought that the term hypergamy sounds cool, so they adopted it to appear scientific.

As long as the users on the platform are not trivial to each other this should not alter the comparability of those platforms to Twitter. UX wise.

The US has a population of roughly 323 million. @katyperry, @justinbieber, @BarackObama, and @taylorswift13 have 387 million followers. What does that tell us? Nothing. As you say, the internet is global.
