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!
