When your friend says something a dumb “hot take”, but waits for the reaction of the group to claim it was rage bait.
Friend 1: why does Jake always say the dumbest takes in the group chat?
Friend 2: He thinks it’s funny to rage bait us, but he’s actually just stupid
Friend 1: Ah I get it, he waits to be called out to say he was just trying to get a rise out of us
Friend 2: exactly, it’s a Schrodinger’s Rage Bait

a shameful tactic that content creators use to get mindless NPC's to comment on their videos. The content will usually have zero context, contain blatant lies or something they pulled straight out of their ass to invoke controversy. The more comments they receive, the better the chances are of the video going viral. Similar to clickbait and rage bait except the goal is to confuse the viewers into getting them to interact with each other. avoid.
B: "this guy really posting saying he is god and was reincarnated in china. he also has gta 7.
A: "bro, that shit is obv comment bait. gtfoh."
B: "you right, he ain't worth my time."

When an author intentionally acts like their work is complete until the bottom of the last page, baiting interested readers and inflating their fic stats to further the illusion.
An author I really like just started fic baiting (v) all their recent works and now I don't think I can trust them anymore because nothing they've actually written is finished despite the tags.
