A person that is addicted to feeling self-righteous rage stemming from a victim mindset. The have little to no understanding of the issues they champion beyond what they read in memes from the social media influencers they follow. They share these angry memes like mindless drones and identify with them, even if its for causes that would harm them personally, because they get a dopamine hit from being part of a wider social movement and fear being ostracized for thinking for themselves.
Ragebait Meme Drone: "Go Hamas!! Free Palestine from the River to the Sea! Stop Genocide!"
Person 2: "Aren't you LGBT? A feminist? Me too?"
Ragebait Meme Drone: "Yes! So?!"
Person 2: "You're literally supporting an organization that kills LGBT, subjugates women and whose whole purpose is genocide."
Ragebait Meme Drone: "How dare you talk about Hamas like that!? BLM told me to love them and go on dates with them!"

This is a way to annoy jjarv very much and then blame it on “ragebait” so he has to cool down and be nicer.

A nonsense internet term created by terminally online zoomers. It used to have a space between "rage" and "bait", but for whatever reason, they removed it.
To put it simply, "ragebait" is the act of trying to anger somebody through your words or actions, whether it would be for your own entertainment or satisfaction. This is mostly done over the internet, because the people who partake in ragebait are basement-dwelling cowards who hide behind computer screens.
Successfully ragebaiting someone doesn't do shit, but said basement-dwellers act as if it makes you smarter than the other person (which it fucking doesn't).

Person A: "Undertale is overrated as fuck. The game looks like shit, and the idea of 'making your own choices' has already been done to death before."
Person B: "2/10 ragebait. Try harder."

A post made to get people to interact with the video out of anger, which in turn makes the poster money. Common ways to ragebait are acting absolutely idiotic (example: "American is the only language on earth") or saying something everyone disagrees with (example: "Depression is not real." Usually, ragebaiters are trying to sell something, such as an online course. Ragebait is not to be confused with trolling, which is one purely for the poster's own amusement instead of financial profit.

When somebody says something moronic, and realizes that the only way they can come back from this is by claiming it was ragebait.
Person 1: I honestly kind of like league of legends, it’s a pretty good game
Person 2: That’s the worst opinion I’ve ever heard
Person 3: We can’t be friends anymore, person 1.
Person 1: Uhhhhhh… ragebaited!!! Hahaha.
