BitClout (CLOUT) is a new blockchain social media platform driven by speculation.
Essentially, Bitclout participants can speculate in social media content by buying tokens. Content creators can earn the BitClout cryptocurrency, which they can sell for US dollars. Creators earn CLOUT by receiving Diamond Likes from followers.
Interestingly, content creators can bribe people into following them on BitClout by “gifting” followers Clout. Medium writer Tim Denning claims these gifts are free money.
