AegisAshore's definitions
The act of pretending to be really stupid to farm engagement. Like those game ads where the person playing keeps failing intentionally or someone really confidently commenting the wrong answer to a question a third grader would know.
Distinct from, but also similair to ragebaiting because both revolve around farming engagement, but ragebaiting revolves around the perpetrator pretending to have an opinion which contradicts yours by seeming really outlandish. Stupidbaiting meanwhile revolves around just pretending to not have any media literacy skills.
Most people on the internet aren’t half as stupid as they pretend they are.
