Fic Baiting (v)

When an author intentionally acts like their work is complete until the bottom of the last page, baiting interested readers and inflating their fic stats to further the illusion.

An author I really like just started fic baiting (v) all their recent works and now I don't think I can trust them anymore because nothing they've actually written is finished despite the tags.

Vampire Baiting

You're done playing a great story-driven game, such as Outer Wilds, Subnautica or Omori and you want more... but the game has zero replay value. You already played it twice and know the story by heart. You get withdrawal. You're on Youtube looking at let's-plays to try to fill a hole like you're some kind of vampire feeding on other people's first experience with the game. You eventually run out of playthrough videos, so now you have to bait everyone you know into playing the game to feed your addiction.

My brother has been vampire baiting me to play Ultrakill for more than a year now

Bicker Baiting

An almost theatrical form of relational sabotage, Bicker Baiting is the cunning yet questionable practice of strategically deploying words or actions, either consciously or subconsciously, to ensnare someone into an argument. This technique often emerges following a misleading stretch of harmony. It represents the paradoxical pursuit of conflict after periods of calm, embodying a twisted longing for the familiar dissonance of everyday squabbles rather than the alien stillness of harmony.

Was a peaceful Sunday until my partner hit me with a bicker baiting bombshell, asking why I still follow my ex on social media. Went from zero to a hundred real quick over a 'like' from 2017.

A deflection tactic used by minorities to avoid the catharsis for their cultursl short comings.

Be careful when you're debating against the democrats, they're known for nigger baiting votes.

A manipulative tactic that involves asking someone to do a small favor for them, only to lead the way to more, usually larger favors. This tactic is most often used by roommates, couples, parents, and coworkers.

Fred: Hey Rob, could you take out the trash for me?

Rob: Sure dude! takes out trash

Fred: Ok, now can you clean the entire kitchen, paint the house, and wipe my ass because you’re my bitch now boi!

Rob: oh, so you’re favor baiting me, I see. Fuck you!
