main character of Twitter

[ SLANG ][ SOCIAL MEDIA ][ TWITTER ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Twitter / XCLUSTER: platform_discourse

The person or topic that becomes the focus of Twitter for a day, usually because of a widely disliked tweet or article. It comes from the axiom that each day one user is the main character, and the goal is never to be it.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""Congratulations on being the main character of Twitter today; hopefully tomorrow someone else has it worse.""
