A specific form of taking bait designed to provoke anger—content created specifically to make people furious and, in their fury, engage. Ragebait exploits emotional vulnerability: say something outrageous, offensive, or inflammatory, and watch the angry responses flood in. Taking the ragebait means you've let someone else's provocation control your emotions and your behavior. You're angry, and they're counting on it.
