Mental Bait

Mental baiting is a different kind of baiting (such as rage bait), when you use mental baiting it is to make someone else think that you yourself is an idiot or just dumb generally.

Example: saying ”Yung Lean is bad, has no fantasy and does the same shit all the time” is mental bait

algo baited

When the algorithm knows you better than your therapist and serves up just the right mix of outrage, nostalgia, or drama to get you commenting, sharing, or doom-scrolling—even though you swore you were just checking one thing.

I still get algo baited into responding to idiots talking about politics.

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.
