When a content creator and or prominent figure in any industry says/does something that is seen as genuine but was only said/done for it to be clipped and shared throughout the internet. The most successful people online more often than not are the most successful clipbaiters.

Ron: "Hey that Ludwig guy is always clipbaiting!"
François: "Yeah, crazy people believe he didn't have knowledge she was streaming him at the same time for the joke."
Ron: "People really want to believe the coolest thing just happened naturally huh."

Clickbaiting

The act of obsessively following links in your feeds in hopes of finding something stimulating.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
