Screenbait

A form of bait designed to provoke a user into saying or doing something that can be screenshotted and used against them—for humiliation, doxxing, ban appeals, or long-term harassment. Screenbaiting involves carefully crafted interactions that seem private or safe but are actually being documented for future weaponization. The baiter builds trust, encourages confidence, then captures the moment when the target lets their guard down—a private admission, an off-color joke, a moment of anger. That screenshot becomes ammunition, shared publicly, sent to employers, used to destroy reputation. Screenbait is the art of turning conversation into evidence, trust into trap.
Example: "She confided in a friend about her struggles with mental health, thinking it was private. That friend screenbaited her—screenshotted the conversation and posted it publicly, mocking her vulnerability. The trust was bait; the screenshot was the catch. She learned too late that some friends fish for pain."

Streetshittification

When enshittification (or enshitification) occurs due to outsourcing to India. Services decline in quality because jobs normally done locally get transferred to India for its lower wages.
I can barely talk to customer support anymore due to corporate streetshittification.
