Clout chaser
意味: Someone who does things primarily for fame, influence, or social media attention.
A 'clout chaser' pursues fame and influence above all else. They befriend famous people for photos, create drama for views, and do outrageous things for attention. 'Clout' (influence or power) is the currency of social media, and clout chasers will do anything to get it. It implies inauthenticity — the person doesn't actually care about what they're doing, only about the attention it brings.
