Bait

Enticing somebody of a lesser intelligence to engage in an online argument in order to make a display of their inadequacy.

When someone states their opinion that is a obvious bait to get people mad and fight in the comment/reply section

answer:

It's a simple concept.

Interaction with content defines what is valuable on the internet. Whether someone clicks on a link because they enjoy what they see or to confirm that they hate what they see is all the same in terms of user metrics. And it's easy to create strong emotions for interaction by making people mad.

Rage bait is content geared to captivate the attention of users by confronting them with something that will make them mad. Mad enough to click on a link, consume the content, then go to the comment section, hit caps lock and angrily type an unhinged comment. Unhinged enough for other angry users, trolls and moderate users to feel the need to respond.

There is also a ton of political rage bait that pretends to be on one side while making particularly disagreeable statements. This will ofc create the intended backlash + engagement from both sides fighting.

The Virality of Anger

So, why rage-baiting? Why not "amusement-baiting," or "sad-baiting" or "confusion-baiting"?

>so what does one do, when the bait becomes anti-bait bait, and your anti-bait becomes then-after anti-bait-anti-bait! Does one even win an arguement with an ignorant aspect? Was it all true that Mike Tyson should start punching these people in the face?
