Bait and Switch

One of the more common forms of shitposting. A video with something on the cover that will make you click on it. (eg. an anime girl in a bikini) Then the actual video is a shitpost, usually making fun of you for being a horny bastard or sudden ear rape.

Guy 1: Did you see the new video someone posted in #nsfw? I heard it's really saucy.
Guy 2: It's just a bait and switch. I was expecting boobs but instead got my ears blown off by Scout from TF2.

covid bait

A person with one or more visible risk factors for severe Covid-19 illness, especially if the factors are within the individual's ability to mitigate.

Jerry's over 300 pounds and I saw him sharing smokes with the other factory workers. That guy is covid bait, it's just a matter of time.

Baiting

A tactic used by lonely social media trolls to lure victims into their comments only for their own amusement. This is done by posting pejorative comments, random arguments, and offensive statements to rile up those they are clearly trying to offend enough to pay attention to them. This is so that they can spend their time trolling you in the comments section and tagging you on every opinion they have on the subject and why they are correct.

Facebook Example
Absolutely Nobody:
Baiter Comments: Trump is a genius and only idiots who don't understand politics would disagree with the way he ran this country.
Bait: I disagree and here is why... Etc.

I want to comment, but it's clear this guy is just baiting people in the comments to get a rise or response from the people who don't share his opinion. Probably best to just ignore it and move on with our lives.
