    This reminds me of someone who said that they'd utilize Cunningham's Law to get computer fixing tips on Reddit. They would ask a question and get no relevant answers, then they'd switch to a throwaway account and leave a blatantly wrong answer on their own thread, and suddenly a bunch of snobby computer professionals would swoop in with detailed answers and corrections of how to fix his computer the RIGHT way

      Thats actually genius. Really goes to show just how much more valuable knowledge can feel when it’s a counter to someone else. Hell, sometimes my teacher will say some stupid political take, so I’ll go home and research the topic to argue with them more accurately next class. I think some of the best works of art, at least in my experience, is the stuff that was made to parody or satirize something that already exists. I guess being a hater is just what humans are best at.

    For years I've been hoping people would realize that ragebait has become the farm. I get so let down when I see people I know on social media engaging with blatant rage bait. If everyone just collectively ignored all that garbage, the internet would change overnight. But I know that won't happen. There are SO many more people online now that lack the decade+ of internet experience needed to understand the intentions behind the stuff you're seeing and engaging with. The internet is cooked.

      @Budderman18 you're right but the older 50+ generations are extremely susceptible to this. When I said "people I know on social media", I was thinking of all the older relatives I have that never engaged much with social media pre-pandemic which is when so many more people became chronically online with 0 context of internet culture. Anything they see they take it as fact, or as a personal attack. In a way they behave very much like children actually. Of course all ages are participants in rage bait but I see sooooo many boomers fall for it. Look at how easily people that age fall for crappy AI pictures on facebook

    Ragebait is a dangerous game to play, go too hard and people will just block you. On UA-cam "Don't recommend channel" works well. While platforms love engagement they're also perfectly happy to help you create a filter bubble, and gradually creators that use this tactic filter their audiences away, because people almost never go into their blocklists and undo them, from that point on you're dead to them. Then your audience is people who cant figure out the tools offered by the platform and new accounts. If your career is appealing to kids who just starting using the internet (who will also eventually block you), constantly chasing trends to appear to new audiences (who will also eventually block you) and dumb people, have at it I guess.
