To lure people into becoming obsessed over something pointless by dangling information about it in front of them, appealing to their need to find out more (see infobating).
People would never have even heard of the Kardashians if the tabloids didn't keep infobaiting them.
I can't stop reading TVTropes, every article keeps infobaiting me into the next one!
