Clout-chasers also do not tend to last long on Mastodon btw - many of them perceived Bluesky as a godsend as it reminded them more of "good old" Twitter, where algorithms amplified certain accounts over others, rewarding popularity with greater popularity and "status." Mastodon is more of an even playing field. Clout-chasers don't like that so much. They'll join Mastodon, use it for a while to pretty much only promote their own stuff, then say things like "Ah, I didn't enjoy Mastodon too much, it's hard to reach an audience on there." What they mean is: they are in it for themselves only, and don't care about the principles of the Fediverse.
