What does 主様 mean in SNS?


I've received something like

> 主様すごいです

but I don't know what it means and when I translate it, it turns out to be
something like

> "master is amazing"

or something like that. Either way what does 主様 mean?




主 in this case means someone who posts it. It is originated from net slang
"うｐ主".

"うｐ" is "up". Please try to type "up" by Japanese keyboard. It should be "うｐ".  
("おｋ" is also net slang as "O.K.". Type "ok" by Japanese keyboard. It is "おｋ"
as well.)

"up" means "upload". In Japanese, you can say "アップする" (upload something)" when
you make a bulletin board online or post a picture/movie in SNS.  
（"アップ" = up = upload）

Next, 主 in this "うｐ主" means...

> **主{Nushi}**  
>  動作・行為の主体。また、ある事柄の主人公。「声の主」「うわさの主」 (quoted from デジタル大辞泉)  
>  Subject that do something or the main character in a issue or event.  
>  "声の主{Koe-no-nushi}" = someone/something that speaks something  
>  "うわさの主{Uwasa-no-nushi}" = someone who is gossiped about. ( **NOT "someone
> who gossips"**)

So, "うｐ主" means "アップした人", that is someone who uploaded(/posted) something.  
Then, they got to use just "主".

様 is Japanese honorifics, which is used when you respect someone or in
buisness.

> 田中様{Tanaka-sama}  
>

Therefore,

> （うｐ）主様｛Nushi-sama}すごいです  
>  You are amazing.
