Although social media and other social networks can be used for positive things. Have y'all thought for a second the growing clout culture, and it's impact on creating more and more internet narcissists online?

Social media has made people obsessed with collecting "loves" and "likes".
Lest I forget — add the need to have a million "subscribers" too. Now what makes you think online social platforms wouldn't experience a rise in clout culture.

Yes, that's another way to look into it.

Personally I don't see what's wrong if someone wants to be a person of clout. Basically you gotta imagine a person of clout as a social media influencer.
In theory it's more profitable in the business trends of influencer marketing to have millions of social media followers or channel subscriptions since this will attract more brand sponsorship.

But don't y'all notice how certain social media personalities have embarked on a journey where they will do anything for clout, like saying extreme controversial things they would otherwise not say in a normal setting?

Some people believe that there is no such thing a bad publicity and don't mind being edgy. It's always something to be expected.

The way I look at is — it’s about the character of the individual, and not about their social status level, money or something. Some Zim celebs too don’t make too much noise.

I don't agree with you when it comes to a couple of Zim celebs because there are numerous characters who seem to all live fake lives on Instagram. Rich men don't brag about their wealth.
Queen

In the case of Zim celebs, Ginimbi does showcase and broadcasts his rich lifestyle so your statement about Zim celebs or any other famous Zim media personalities is wrong.

There people in Zim with more money than Ginimbi but you don't see them much on social media because of a generational thing.

Ginimbi isn't a clout chaser — y'all know that!
It's those thirsty socialites and wannabe slay queens who appease him (especially during Ginimbi TV) to get some coins off him.

I concur.
But if you are gonna flaunt your cash, then 'em slay queen gonna come, and so long as one is content with it and try not to act as if they don't know what time it is.

The ones who don't brag a lot are usually the type who either grew up with money or they have a solid orientation on to present themselves without being too cocky.

Of course, money doesn't buy class.
