Rage bait

When you ragebait someone, ur basically provoking them to swear you and your entire family and relatives, or when you piss someone off (either in online either irl) . In online you basically piss someone off to swear you and your entire family and relatives and then leaving the call or even ghosting you. In real life you get GHOSTED.

comment bait

a shameful tactic that content creators use to get mindless NPC's to comment on their videos. The content will usually have zero context, contain blatant lies or something they pulled straight out of their ass to invoke controversy. The more comments they receive, the better the chances are of the video going viral. Similar to clickbait and rage bait except the goal is to confuse the viewers into getting them to interact with each other. avoid.

B: "this guy really posting saying he is god and was reincarnated in china. he also has gta 7.
A: "bro, that shit is obv comment bait. gtfoh."
B: "you right, he ain't worth my time."
