I like the term 'data cow', all the data cows sitting around chewing the fat on Facebook while the application milks them for data which they sell to the highest bidder. Very dystopian but awesome none the less.

'Attention merchants' milking 'data cows' and reselling ...perfect...

I'm going to go with 'Attention Farmers' to stay thematic with the Cows. :-)

Attention Farmers put out Click Bait to attract Data Cows which they then milk for Data that they can resell.
