Twitch streamers, YouTubers, only fans, unrelated but scalpers probably belong here as well.

Scalpers aren’t really living off the hospitality of others, they’re taking advantage of illiquidity to create arbitrage and fuck over regular people.

Doesn't matter how they are taking advantage, they are still parasites.

They're the only actual parasites in that list, the rest just provide a service people pay for. Which is closer to the parasitus class described in the OP.
