Trigger-baiting

Trigger-baiting is the act of deliberately creating content designed to provoke a strong emotional response, typically anger or outrage, in order to boost engagement or farm for views through algorithm-driven exposure.
Trigger-baiting people can be harmful, especially when it leads to online bullying and harassment.

This video was clearly made to trigger-bait people and boost the creator’s views and engagement stats.
