Click bait

'Click bait' is a popular word used on the internet. It is when you use a picture or sentence to lure people to click on your website/link/video, but is not always entirely true. For example, you could make a thumbnail for your YouTube video with bold letters saying: 'I NEARLY DIED?!' and lots of watchers would immediately click on your video because they want to know what happened. It is considered click bait only when the video maker lies about what the video is about.

I'm so mad! This YouTuber just click baited me! What a waste of my time.

amen baiting

The strategy to push social media engagement by coming up with content meant to trigger a seemingly unconscious response to comment the word "amen", like or share.

This is typically seen amongst Filipino Facebook users and is something the foreign content creators who are fond of "pinoy baiting" content have not been capitalizing at the time of this writing.

Content creators and traditional media companies in the Philippines often use amen baiting content to boost their engagement as the dominantly Catholic social media capital of the world just can't help but comment "amen".
