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.

Jun-baited

the state of being involuntarily compelled to watch certain Japanese TV dramas or to follow the Japanese musical group Arashi because of an overwhelming attraction to actor/singer Jun Matsumoto

I admit I only watched that drama because I was Jun-baited.
I started to listen to Arashi after I got Jun-baited.

baited breath

Someone who is antagonistic and seeks to disrupt waits with baited breath ready to cast out words that entice a haughty response for the purpose of further feeding more responses into a feeding frenzy of chaotic frustration and angst.

The internet troll waits for you with baited breath.
