Similar to a
troll, a Goblin
will post a statement that is obviously controversial, incorrect, defamatory, etc, on a social media platform in order to trigger an emotional response from
people but instead of doing it for the reason of feeding off negativity, they do it for reason of acquiring klout and getting more clicks for their platform.
"that dude obviously knows what hes saying is messed up but it
will obviously get him more shares and attention on tiktok sick of these goblins on here,
try doing
something original"
