Interviewpost

A specific instance of Interviewbait—a post that shares the fruits of a bad-faith interview, typically screenshots, clips, or highlights edited to maximize damage. The Interviewpost rarely includes full context, the interviewer's leading questions, or the target's clarifications. Instead, it presents selected moments designed to make the target look foolish, extreme, dangerous, or delusional. The caption frames the target as already guilty, the interview as an exposé, the poster as a hero for "documenting" this person. Interviewposts are common in call-out culture, where they serve as evidence in trials conducted by social media mobs. The interview itself was the investigation; the Interviewpost is the indictment.

"They posted an Interviewpost with my face and the caption: 'Listen to this person explain why they think consciousness survives death.' Just my words, none of the context, none of their manipulative questions, none of my attempts at nuance. I looked crazy. That's Interviewpost—my conversation, your conviction."
