Internet Attention Seeker

An internet attention seeker is somebody who will say something controversial just to get attention. They may attack the LGBTQ+ community or say something controversial such as "Pineapple on pizza is the best thing ever, anybody who disagrees sucks" and the tactics they use usually work. They are usually called a troll when somebody finds out the tactics, but the difference between a troll and an internet attention seeker is that the troll is not seeking any type of huge attention, and they will usually keep the trolls on the low.
