Vampire Baiting

You're done playing a great story-driven game, such as Outer Wilds, Subnautica or Omori and you want more... but the game has zero replay value. You already played it twice and know the story by heart. You get withdrawal. You're on Youtube looking at let's-plays to try to fill a hole like you're some kind of vampire feeding on other people's first experience with the game. You eventually run out of playthrough videos, so now you have to bait everyone you know into playing the game to feed your addiction.

My brother has been vampire baiting me to play Ultrakill for more than a year now

Bicker Baiting

An almost theatrical form of relational sabotage, Bicker Baiting is the cunning yet questionable practice of strategically deploying words or actions, either consciously or subconsciously, to ensnare someone into an argument. This technique often emerges following a misleading stretch of harmony. It represents the paradoxical pursuit of conflict after periods of calm, embodying a twisted longing for the familiar dissonance of everyday squabbles rather than the alien stillness of harmony.

Was a peaceful Sunday until my partner hit me with a bicker baiting bombshell, asking why I still follow my ex on social media. Went from zero to a hundred real quick over a 'like' from 2017.

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.”

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.

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 ?
