Someone who consistently falls for content designed to provoke anger—a reliable source of outrage engagement for platforms and provocateurs. Ragebait-takers are predictable: show them something infuriating, and they'll react. Their anger fuels the internet's attention economy; their comments generate engagement; their outrage is content. They're not just consumers of ragebait; they're part of its production.
Ragebait-taker "She's a serial ragebait-taker—sees something inflammatory and immediately posts a furious reply. She thinks she's fighting injustice; actually, she's generating engagement for the very system she hates. Ragebait-takers keep the outrage machine running. Their anger is fuel, and the machine never runs out."
