Content deliberately designed to provoke anger, outrage, or strong negative emotional reactions,
typically for the purpose of generating engagement, clicks, or views. Common on social media platforms
where controversial takes, inflammatory statements, or intentionally wrong opinions are shared to
farm interactions.
Example:
"That tweet saying 'pizza is better without cheese' is obvious ragebait.
They just want people arguing in the replies to boost engagement."
Example:
"Don't fall for the ragebait. They posted that ridiculous hot take
knowing it would go viral from people dunking on it."
