algo baiting

The act of falling for algorithmic bait and spiraling into unplanned doomscrolling, pointless replies, or emotional engagement you swore you’d avoid. You came for one thing—now it’s three hours later and you’re arguing with a stranger about toaster settings.

I wasted my whole afternoon on X, algo baiting over some dumb hot take.

Hate-Bait

Poking fun around someone to get a very hateful and volatile reaction (more annoying than ragebaiting)

Guy one: “Inshallah there will be more transgenders in West Virginia.”

Guy two: “bro that is some elite Hate-Bait.”

taboo bait

A work of fiction, be it anime, manga, novel, movie or whatever, that uses a controversial subject/elements to gain attention. It doesn't attempt to bring discussion or tell a serious story, but rather tries to lure in people only to make them pay money for a mediocre piece of entertainment.

The majority of love stories revolving around incest are nothing more than taboo bait. When will the society finally grow up and take this issue seriously ?

Taking the DM Bait

When someone "accidentally" texts someone or messages them on social media, but has a plan to work on them to get in their pants.

I butt dialed her to see if she would end up taking the DM bait. She responded and we started talking about what she wants in a man and then I played the game and she gave it up to me and took the bait.
