Why do niggers and zoomers use "ragebait" all of a sudden? Any time you say anything they disagree with they call it "ragebaiting."
>>
>all of a sudden
Welcome to 2024, nigger. For the last few years the internet has been nothing but irony poisoned discourse by terminally online oversocialized cattle whose personalities are shaped entirely by algorithmic trends on instagram tiktok and twitch
Of course everyone says ragebait, because everyone is spamming whatever absolute fucking trash passes for trolling amongst their misbegotten kind, as if dialog has become twitter

I have assumed twitter was primarily Israeli ragebait bots for years now. Am I wrong?
>>
it used to be called "trolling", literally nothing new
>>

The character of it is different. Trolling is a joke, ragebaiting is malicious sadism disguised as a joke

>t. Retard who has no idea what he's talking about

The former is bascially teasing, the latter is you being a mean, miserable person and wanting to spread that to other people under the guise of it being a joke

Trolling is innocent, and ragebaiting is a conscious abuse of the logic behind trolling: "I can exploit an attachment in another's beliefs or experience for positive or negative attention to myself or the other, depending on my intention," says the ragebaiter.

Not sure why the first guy to reply to you is being dense, but him saying you have no clue what you are talking about when you made the rationale as simple as possible -is- ragebait.

We went from flamebait back in the day, to bait, to ragebait, which runs counter to theory Inhad that our terms for things would only ever become shorter and more abbreviated over time. I assume some streamer popularized it, because that's were everything comes from now.

To be fair, actually trolling for teh lulz has been mostly superceded by just stating your actual beliefs (usually political) in the most obnoxious way possible for a while now.

social media encouraged it for reactions, particularly after twitter offered the option to monetize for it.

So people no longer troll for attention whoring or fun, they ragebait for impressions and marketing

Trolling was always malicious, you're just retarded.

>>84974989
Tbdesu those are not even really trolling, the joke is that the person reading it understands what they're reading and it's funny to think about some idiot not realizing it and doing it
>>
>>84975003
Wrongo if you weren't a stupid newfag you would have seen the images of retards blowing up spoons in their hands. This is the worst part about newfags, they never know when to shut the fuck and admit yes, I am smelly dumb newfag scum who should shut the fuck up and lurk moar. They were made with the intention of tricking retards into doing harmful things for the lulz.
Maybe you're thinking about troll physics which were lighthearted funnies but I doubt it, you're just ignorant and proud.
