Commercial Holiday

A holiday that a lot of companies & businesses expect for the average person to spend a lot of money for.

1: Hey, Valentine's Day is coming up, what are going to do for your SO?

2: Nothing really romantic, we're just going to spend the day together.

1: You're not going to get her something?

2: Why do I have to get her something physical like jewelry or something to prove my love to her? It's just a Commercial Holiday so the fat cats at the top get my money . I don't need one day to prove my love for her.

1: You're selfish.

2: Last time I checked, a relationship requires two people. It's not solely on the guy to make stuff work.

Commentpost

The act of posting comments on social media platforms—Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc.—not to contribute to discussion but to provoke reactions, express disagreement, engage in debatebait, gather screenbait, or simply display ignorance. Commentposts are the background noise of the internet: thousands of them, every second, designed to do nothing but occupy space and attention. Some commentposts are sincere (the user genuinely believes what they say); most are performance (the user is playing a role for an audience); many are bait (the user wants to provoke a response). Commentposting has become the default mode of online interaction, replacing conversation with combat, exchange with escalation. The commentpost is the atom of the internet—small, numerous, and often toxic.

Example: "She posted a photo of her cat. Within hours, there were forty-seven commentposts: three about the cat's cuteness, two about the lighting, and forty-two arguing about whether cats should be indoors or outdoors. None of the arguers knew each other; none would change their minds; all had successfully turned a cat photo into a battlefield. Commentposting had done its work: turning everything into argument."

Commentbait

A form of commentpost specifically designed to generate more comments—controversial opinions, inflammatory statements, deliberately ignorant questions, or "hot takes" crafted to provoke outrage and engagement. Commentbait is the engine of platform engagement metrics: the more comments, the more the algorithm promotes the post, the more comments it generates. Commentbaiters don't care what you say, as long as you say something. They're not trying to convince or communicate; they're trying to capture attention, generate metrics, and feed the machine. Every "unpopular opinion" thread, every "am I the only one who..." post, every deliberately wrong answer on a help forum—commentbait, all of it. The commentbaiter has learned that engagement is its own reward, and that the best way to get engagement is to make people angry enough to type.

Example: "The post was simple: 'The earth is actually flat and here's why.' No evidence, no argument, just a claim designed to trigger. And trigger it did—thousands of comments, millions of views, days of engagement. The poster never responded to any of it. They didn't need to. Commentbait had worked: the algorithm loved it, the platform promoted it, and the poster walked away with the only currency that matters—attention."

Comments

(See April 11th, 18th 2009 and March 5th 2017 definitions for context.)
Comments are the little crowdsourced rectangles below content that contains short, opinionated text. OR 12TB opinionated mountains of text. Apparently Urban Dictionary took care of that "problem."

Nowww All those Hilarious Zingers that stretch across the Urban Horizon no longer have 'comeback' humor. But to be fair, this is SUPPOSED to be some kind of dictionary and not a Big Ol' Glorified Twitter.

<hey remember when urbanned dicktionary had comments?)
