Influencer bait

Technology products produced solely for the attention of social media influencers and/or reviewers.

The products are typically manufactured with weak craftsmanship, have little or no long-term software support, and have a high price.

A manufacturer may financially compensate an influencer to review, talk positively about, and be seen using a product.
Who even is the target audience for AI assistant devices? Why can't they integrate the technology to smartphones? They feel like influencer bait!

Religion baiting

Religion baiting is a sub genre of fear baiting. It is type of content that usually starts with “scroll if you hate Jesus”. Which uses Religion as a way to stop you. And it uses fear of going to hell as a way to make you watch the video. The content creator then proceeds to tell you to comment, like, and subscribe if you love Jesus. It makes kids interact with their video pushing it to more people.
Some of the worst people on earth: “I have an idea! I should use Religion baiting to get more subscribers on my shitty Roblox YouTube Shorts account.”
