Baiting

Posting something on social media in an attempt to get somebody specific — usually a crush — to interact with it.

“I was totally baiting when I posted about that song yesterday. I don’t even listen to it, but I know it’s my crush’s favorite.”

Vampire Baiting

You're done playing a great story-driven game, such as Outer Wilds, Subnautica or Omori and you want more... but the game has zero replay value. You already played it twice and know the story by heart. You get withdrawal. You're on Youtube looking at let's-plays to try to fill a hole like you're some kind of vampire feeding on other people's first experience with the game. You eventually run out of playthrough videos, so now you have to bait everyone you know into playing the game to feed your addiction.

My brother has been vampire baiting me to play Ultrakill for more than a year now

Rage Bait Artist

A rage bait artist is an individual whose entire online presence/personality is defined mostly by their topics or demeanor in which they incite rage by using intentionally provocative wording that is meant to further antagonize through manipulation tactics such as cherry-picking, red herring, or otherwise disingenuous logical fallacies meant to paint a particular narrative rather than the more complex truth.

"Did you see that video of a guy belittling sports he disagreed with? Another rage bait artist pushing for reactions he likes"
