Meaning

These clout-chasers, so full of themselves and drunk on their riches, are doing these rituals just for show, completely ignoring the rules.

Commentary

Bro, these peeps are totally self-absorbed and stuck up. They're dripping in cash and think they're all that, performing these rituals just for clout, totally ignoring the actual rules. Like, they're so full of themselves, they think they're better than everyone else, treating others like trash. They don't even bow down to anyone, acting like pillars of salt. Their 'sacrifices'? Total facade. No altars, no fire, no nothing – just a big show to boost their ego. They couldn't care less about God or anyone else. It's all about the Insta likes, not actual devotion. They're not getting any spiritual brownie points from this, that's for sure.
