Interviewbait

A form of baiting where the "interview" is a trap, not a conversation. The Interviewbaiter approaches targets on social media platforms—often through DMs, comment threads, or public posts—posing as genuinely curious, interested in dialogue, or seeking to understand "the other side." But the goal isn't understanding; it's generating content. Every response is screenshotted, clipped, highlighted, and stripped of context for public consumption. The interview is a fishing expedition, and the catch is material for cancellation, mockery, or Guiltbait. The Interviewbaiter often leads with soft questions to lower defenses, then pivots to gotchas, knowing that anything the target says can and will be used against them. It's not journalism; it's predation with a microphone.

"Someone DMed me saying they were 'genuinely curious' about my spiritual beliefs. We talked for an hour. Next day, clips were everywhere: 'Watch this delusional person explain their nonsense.' That's Interviewbait—curiosity as cover, conversation as content farm, me as the mark."

Interviewpost

A specific instance of Interviewbait—a post that shares the fruits of a bad-faith interview, typically screenshots, clips, or highlights edited to maximize damage. The Interviewpost rarely includes full context, the interviewer's leading questions, or the target's clarifications. Instead, it presents selected moments designed to make the target look foolish, extreme, dangerous, or delusional. The caption frames the target as already guilty, the interview as an exposé, the poster as a hero for "documenting" this person. Interviewposts are common in call-out culture, where they serve as evidence in trials conducted by social media mobs. The interview itself was the investigation; the Interviewpost is the indictment.

"They posted an Interviewpost with my face and the caption: 'Listen to this person explain why they think consciousness survives death.' Just my words, none of the context, none of their manipulative questions, none of my attempts at nuance. I looked crazy. That's Interviewpost—my conversation, your conviction."

internview

when an intern is allowed to do interview for someone replacing their superior. Typically made up of questions that an intern would normally ask.

Intern 1: "Man, they're replacing my immediate boss"
Intern 2: "Oh really? Do you get to do an internview?"
Intern 1: "Yeah, I'm gonna ask where the gum is, and how do I print addresses on envelopes."

Intern 2: "You should probably ask if they know the good restaurants around here."

Intern 1: "Yeah, that and how strictly they interpret the sexual harrasment rules."

innerview

What a lustful boss is really hoping to conduct when he meets a job-seeking hot chick in his office.

Wise women wear longer-legged boxer-shorts-type underwear during any interviews which have a male employee performing said questioning, so as to hopefully thwart any "innerviewing" efforts --- i.e., attempts to peer up her skirt.
