Considering the number of rage baits out there these days.
It should be taught in school, and tested. You shouldn’t be able to graduate without basic emotional intelligence.
This is one of the reasons I left Reddit (that and getting banned multiple times in a row). At some point I realized it wasn’t worth it anymore.
The amount of obvious karma farming getting 1500+ comments of “engagement” is insane. Just take a brief look on r/all and you’ll see about 20% bait. r/AITA, r/AmIOverreacting, r/PeterExplainsTheJoke, etc all of these likely-styled subreddits are just obvious bots. I don’t even get the point of karma farming.
I’ve heard of people running it as a side gig. Shady advertising companies will buy your reddit account, the more history the better. I have no idea the price range but I can’t imagine it’s much, because the entire process can be automated at this point.
How we taught the lesson in my day
I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds
Ragebait is a fake concept invented by woke liberal media
You mean it doesn’t exist ? Perhaps I should be clear since I wrote just two lines.
If you take top comments on any (even non political) popular posts, there will be someone posting an intentionally controversial, yet unrelated, comment. I guess it boosts engagement of the post, or the commenter gets karma (or whatever fake points) or just some lunatics doing it for the kick of it. The problem is most people reacting to such comments doesn’t realise they were just baited into it.
Hence the thought in the shower 🚿
You took me seriously but here I was on my fishing trip 🎣
Ah. I got baited 😆
More like “Don’t believe anything you read on the internet”. That would reduce the raging as well.
I disagree!!!
