Creating the impression of public support by paying people in the public to pretend to be supportive.
The false support can take the form of letters to the editor, postings on message boards in response to criticism, and writing to politicians in support of the cause.
Astroturfing is the opposite of "grassroots", genuine public support of an issue.
Mike, admit you just got caught astroturfing. You're just pimping your own blog.
Microsoft didn't have grassroots support, so they created astroturf support.

Joy of Missing Out: You’re enjoying what you’re doing in the here and now and not on social media broadcasting or seeing what everybody else is doing. Opposite of fomo or the fear of missing out.
Guy #1: I had a great day, climbed a hill and didn't check facebook.
Guy #2: Good day?
Guy #1: Yea pure JOMO.

A Green Flag is the direct opposite of a Red Flag. You know those things we know at the start of a relationship we avoid. Typically Red Flags are not as desirable as Green Flags considering Green Flags are often mature, responsible, honest, virtuous, and socially acceptable. But Green Flags are often not as desirable as Red Flags because they have nothing to fix. People prize generally fucked up people who have mommy and or daddy issues, usually a drug problem, unemployed, or typically someone you wouldn't want to bring home or have a child with.
"Wow, what a catch! he's got a career and his own home. What? He also has a relationship with his family and can keep plants alive. Those are all Green flags. You should let him knock you up."
"Ok, so tell me about her?"
"Well, for starters she doesn't have an Onlyfans."
"Well that's a Green Flag if I've ever seen one."

The feeling of being overworked, underappreciated and like you don't exist to others during the holidays while in actuality the season's success depends on you.
The sense of being 3 feet small when others would view you in high stature if they realized all you do to make the holiday's happen.
I think Hermey is having some elf-esteem issues. He's pulling the stuffing out of all the teddy bears.

Another way of saying "see you later". Can be abbreviated to TTFN, but there isn't much point if it still has the same number of syllables.
Guy: Well, ta ta for now!
Guy 2: Bye.
