Seeking Relevancy

The act of creating or sharing superficial, overextended, or tenuously linked content—often on social platforms like LinkedIn—with the primary intention of maintaining visibility, validating one's expertise, or garnering social or professional advantage, rather than contributing meaningful insight or value.

"She's always seeking relevancy by tying buzzwords into every post, regardless of the topic's actual relevance to her field."

Relevant to some

A euphemism used in sportscasting to indicate a score late in the game that does not meaningfully change the outcome of the game, but DOES change the outcome of gambling bets that depend on point totals or differences therein.
