Ragebait and engagement farming go hand in hand, the latter especially on the big social media platforms where the ragebaiter stands to gain monetarily with ad revenue. It’s usually some culture war shit like “WATCH: Woman thought she could attack man and he wouldn’t fight back”. Queue tons of angry comments and arguments. And clicks. Sweet sweet engagement. Other times it’s just obvious bad faith behaviour. Like going into a vegan community and saying “I think veganism is unhealthy and everyone should eat meat”.

    Cue. C-U-E. The angry comments aren’t lining up and waiting their turn. The angry comments are activated by the ragebait (like a stage cue).
