bottom feeder
A bottom feeder is an aquatic animal that feeds on or near the bottom of a body of water, typically consuming sediment, detritus, and other organisms. This term is often used to refer to fish species like catfish and carp, but can also apply to other marine and freshwater life. In a metaphorical sense, the term "bottom feeder" can also apply to individuals or entities that exploit others in a low or degrading manner, often taking advantage of situations or people in disadvantaged positions. For example, dishonest businesses or individuals who take advantage of the vulnerable or uninformed can be called "bottom feeders".
The New Hacker's Dictionary
bottom feeder
1. An Internet user that leeches off ISPs — the sort you can never provide good enough services for, always complains about the price, no matter how low it may be, and will bolt off to another service the moment there is even the slimmest price difference. While most bottom feeders infest free or almost free services such as AOL, MSN, and Hotmail, too many flock to whomever happens to be the cheapest regional ISP at the time. Bottom feeders are often the classic problem user, known for unleashing spam, flamage, and other breaches of netiquette. 2. Syn. for slopsucker, derived from the fishermen's and naturalists' term for finny creatures who subsist on the primordial ooze. (This sense is older.)
