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.”

When someone is trying to push their opinion on you or get validation for their judgments. Generally people who are very gossipy are bias baiters.

Isn’t it a shame that they got a breeder dog than a rescue? Stop bias baiting (or stop being a bias baiter!)
