Bum Baiting

Bum Baiting : A recent trend in the UK where individuals provoke or antagonize vulnerable people, such as homeless individuals, drug addicts, and alcoholics, often while they’re drinking or in public spaces. This behavior is typically recorded for online videos, done for amusement, to gain views, or to make money by making the video go viral. It’s similar to "vlogprovoking," both with a focus on exploiting the vulnerable.
Lee: Every time I go on YouTube, I keep seeing these YouTubers, annoying homeless drunks and drug addicts just for a view. These people have enough struggles, Bruv.
Frank: Init bruv. There is proper bum baiting.
Lee: Yeah, there scum those sorts of people, Bruv.
Frank: Don't worry, karma always catches up Bruv. LOL
Lee: Init bruv, they will be the ones on the streets homeless one day and have to deal with all the people they have pissed off LOL.
Frank: LOL.
