virtue signalling

Advocating a political or philosophical position, and/or taking up a public cause, from a position of vanity, for the primary purpose of demonstrating your conformity with fashionable pop culture values.

Signatures

Useless links on the bottom of forum posts to make Google think your site is cool.
I really hate that forum, it's full of scammers and geeks, but I will post something so Google thinks my site got game. Hold on, lemme add my signatures before I make a post, I hope I don't need more than posts to get one.

Raising your arm -with phone in hand- in order to get more reception, as if the satellite orbiting miles away can now reach you.
