Baiting

A tactic used by lonely social media trolls to lure victims into their comments only for their own amusement. This is done by posting pejorative comments, random arguments, and offensive statements to rile up those they are clearly trying to offend enough to pay attention to them. This is so that they can spend their time trolling you in the comments section and tagging you on every opinion they have on the subject and why they are correct.

Facebook Example
Absolutely Nobody:
Baiter Comments: Trump is a genius and only idiots who don't understand politics would disagree with the way he ran this country.
Bait: I disagree and here is why... Etc.
I want to comment, but it's clear this guy is just baiting people in the comments to get a rise or response from the people who don't share his opinion. Probably best to just ignore it and move on with our lives.

Zombie bait

Zombie bait is a term for those in zombie shows, video games, movies etc. who are unlikely to survive due to one limiting characteristic or another that makes their chances of survival slim. Usually they're the ones who end up dying pretty early on in the storyline, leaving others who are more suited to survive. Seeing as how they aren't particularly useful to a survivor party, they are called bait because their lack of usefulness is their greatest strength: when they end up getting devoured by zombies their screams end up attracting zombies to the feast allowing other survivors to escape or flank the zombies in order to grab supplies.
Example 1: the fat guy who dies at the beginning of zombieland

Example 2: someone who has no survival or combat skills whatsoever and is unable to adapt, having only survived this long because they've surrounded themselves with others who do

Example 3: Shane used Otis as zombie bait, shooting him in the leg and stealing his supplies, making his escape while the zombies focused all their attention on eating Otis
