Bait Box

Noun:
A box used in porch fishing that is placed on a porch or stoop as bait for mail thieves, aka "Porch Pirates" to be intentionally stolen. They sometimes include animal feces, or gross things to add some payback and hopefully deter the thief from stealing in the future.
Some on YouTube have gone more elaborate and built glitter flinging devices and boxes attached to shot shell primers to scare the thief.

"I buy my bait boxes at porchfishing.org. They have the freshest shit around."

"If you need a decent bait box go to porchfishing.org for all your dog shit needs."

gaze-bait

An online video (esp. a repeating "short") that features an admonition to "watch to the end!" or "wait for it!" and then there's nothing to see. A form of clickbait.

Religion baiting

Religion baiting is a sub genre of fear baiting. It is type of content that usually starts with “scroll if you hate Jesus”. Which uses Religion as a way to stop you. And it uses fear of going to hell as a way to make you watch the video. The content creator then proceeds to tell you to comment, like, and subscribe if you love Jesus. It makes kids interact with their video pushing it to more people.

Some of the worst people on earth: “I have an idea! I should use Religion baiting to get more subscribers on my shitty Roblox YouTube Shorts account.”
