Clout Blanket

A blanket used to cover yourself with attention, usually 10 seconds of Facebook fame, also usually while driving someone else’s reputation into the ground on social media. All while gaining popularity and influence.

Clout Bankruptcy

The occurrence when a celebrity/social media 'influencer' says/does something controversial for the sake staying in the spotlight. It usually happens when said influencer is losing their 15 seconds of fame, thus filing for clout bankruptcy. He/she can do this multiple ways including saying controversial yet bland political takes (i.e: "we're controlled by the elites" "we need a better healthcare system" "there are only 2 genders"), publicly converting into a religion, staging a drama with another influencer, etc. This stunt may also involve monetary gains

Person 1: did you hear that *insert washed up celebrity/influencer* thinks we shouldn't take vaccines?

Person 2: that guy? He's filing for clout bankruptcy. No one's talked about him since he made the hitsong 2 years ago
