Doing anything for attention — a beef, a stunt, a fake apology — as the accusation 'clout chaser', which is applied to anyone visible by anyone less so. The record's entry for the pursuit of the algorithm named as a vice.
The record has 'clout'. This is the chase, and the record notes that everyone on the internet is chasing it and the insult is reserved for those who are seen to.
I saved a screenshot of the first Clout Chasing post I saw. Looking at it now, the joke is entirely in the timing. The timing does not survive the screenshot.
Sighting: my dad said "Clout Chasing" out loud at dinner and then looked at me to check it had landed. It had not. Filing this as evidence of terminal spread.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
