Flamebait 

A type of behaviour in Internet comment sections and forums.

A flamebaiter's objective is to deliberately cause a negative reaction within a certain discussion thread, that will make other users invest their time in arguing with them. Many more users will reply to the content of these comments than regular ones. It capitalises on the idea that people are more likely to contribute when they are angry to "correct" the flamebaiter.

The flamebaiter however has no intention of having their opinion "corrected" as it is either fiction or a core belief.
A comment that doesn't get a reaction: "I like how the water in this scene refracted his hands".

Opposed to: (Flamebait) "The water FX in this movie are so bad, they couldn't even match up the green screen of his hand in the water"

One will get a few likes, the other will get a barrage of replies calling the author an idiot.
