A nonsense internet word created by terminally online zoomers. It was originally called "rage bait", but they removed the space in the middle for some reason. To put it simply, ragebait is the act of saying or doing something with the pure intent of angering others, whether it would be for your own entertainment or seeking attention. This is mostly done over social media, because the ragebaiters themselves are pussies who hide behind screens.
Person A: "Undertale is overrated af. The game looks like shit and the idea of 'making your own choices' has already been done way before, this is nothing new."
Person B: "2/10 ragebait. Try harder."
