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 ?
