Something that tik tok can't handle. It means to say or do terrible stuff(I.E:homophobia, racism, transphobia, etc) on purpose just to get the reaction of from other tik tokers. Because of this, Tik Tokers are now making videos that are like:"DoN't ClIck ThE sOuNd" were made by said tik tokers unaware that they are fueling the fire and giving the baiter more attention(EX:Bellathewolf,meowbahh,etc). And no, saying your bait doesn't excuse you for being a dick.
