cancerbait

A toxic techinque of highliting meaningless and irrelevant information to draw attention to a non-existant piece of information.

Making particular letters in a caption bold or a different colour to create the impression of said text containing an acronym or second meaning, when in fact the shared content is completely worthless.

Generally a technique of wasting additional minutes of an audience's life.
- Why did I just spend five minutes watching this video? Nothing even happens.

= Did you read the caption?

- Yeah I read it several times; it makes no sense and I dont even know what I'm looking at.

= You should have scrolled past. That's clearly Cancerbait.

CancerAIDS 

A horrifying (though possibly fictitious) wasting disease, which is wished upon internet commenters who have sinned against the community (usually by way of a "first" or a "failed firstie").
After reading an article or viewing an image or video, you notice there are no comments.

You post:

First!

The replies quickly follow:

- Die of CancerAIDS, a**hole!
- Drown in a bucket of CancerAIDS, douchebag!

OR...

You believe no one has commented yet, so you post:

First!

Sadly for you, as you were typing, the true first post went up, and it was actually relevant and even insightful, which only served to highlight your own pathetic lack of worth as a human. And so...

- Failed firstie, you sad twat. Its the CancerAIDS for you!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
