Fame Whores / Clout Chasers - People who will literally do anything for online attention

[Lieutenant Rasczak]

This thread is about the many people online who are fame whores. This is more of a group of people who do stupid shit, not necessarily a single individual or two. These people are retards will do anything for attention, they are the attention whores of social media. These people will do anything for attention such as the following as seen below. These are the type of people who will chase after internet fame, even if it means disrupting the lives of everyday people or some other form of severe consequence that results in either a hilarious shit show or a tragic ending. When I said they will do anything for attention I mean anything for a drop of attention online. Damaging property, ruining food, assaulting people, ruining products in general as seen with Exhibit C, nothing is off the table for this special group of e-troglodytes. Some of them even go so far as to commit felonies for online attention.

Seeing that there's a lot of people whoring for fame, clout, attention, whatever you want to call it there needs to be a thread about these exceptional individuals so they can be pointed at and made fun of. Who knows, as a result we could get a few lolcows as a result of the dumb antics of these retards.

 

[StrawberryDouche]

This is some embarrassingly lazy shit. You couldn't even be bothered to embed the YouTube video.

 

[Sparky Lurker]

Most of this stuff belongs to the Article & News board tbh, also fame whores comes in too many different levels of autism to really belong all into a single thread.

 

[BingBong]

At least you archived your shit. I'll give you that.

 

[Knojkamarangasan_#4]

Way too broad of a topic honestly. Also we already have articles/happenings that covers this.

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Lurk more, cunt.

 

[CIA Nigger]

A trait that lolcows tend to have is not really thread worthy.

I'm starting to think this thread was a stupid idea. If these people we're stupid enough, they would get their own threads.

 

[Burning Fanatic]

Funny enough, I'm actually trying to work on a similar thread. In your case, you should be going into a lot more detail about the individuals in question, versus simply, "Exhibit X: This person did this dumb thing for attention on this social media platform."

Also more than one example of clout chasing/attention seeking would be required to filter out momentary retardation.

 

[Meat Pickle]

This could have potentials to be a decent Community Watch thread. OP just needs to properly embed and archive several videos as examples and provide a link to where such groups gather, like a Subreddit or a Twitter profile or two.

This was my first time making a thread. I mostly fucked it up if I want to be honest.

 

[GHTD]

I think I see what OP means. People who do dumb shit (normally zoomer influencers) to get fame but only makes people upset, sometimes MOTI.

Still though, do a better OP a little bit.

 

[Slowpoke Sonic]

Note that clout chasers also like to create poorly-made threads about random exceptional individuals who aren't tard cum-worthy that much and claim they're like the "next Chris Chan" or something like that

 

[TV's Adam West]

You have a good idea but fucked it up by being lazy.

 

[Shield Breaker]

Isn't this what Internet Famous is for?

 

[sophnar0747]

Hmmm, I haven't gotten enough attention today, gunna go lick the underside of some toilets for Instagram clout. Brb.

Update: No clout, got herpes instead.
