Clout-fish

**Clout Fish**: A term used to describe individuals who deliberately manipulate their online persona or relationships to gain social status, influence, or attention, often by pretending to be someone they are not or exaggerating their connections to popular figures. Unlike "catfishing," which involves romantic deception, a "clout fish" focuses on leveraging social media interactions and appearances to enhance their perceived value or relevance, often leading to inauthentic relationships and interactions driven by the pursuit of clout.
“Amelia loves fishing. Her favourite catch is a clout-fish. Shes always out there cloutfishing, casting her net for anyone who can get her side of stage.”
