Bum Baiting : A recent trend in the UK where individuals provoke or antagonize vulnerable people, such as homeless individuals, drug addicts, and alcoholics, often while they’re drinking or in public spaces. This behavior is typically recorded for online videos, done for amusement, to gain views, or to make money by making the video go viral. It’s similar to "vlogprovoking," both with a focus on exploiting the vulnerable.
