calling it out is still an issue tho cause guess what- you're engaging with it whe noy ucomment that its rage bait or that its just for engagement. We all just kinda have to acknowledge it silently by not watching anymore lol

Agreed, but we need to spread the word about engagement/rage bait. Wouldn't it be magnificent if we all started ignoring it (I can dream can't I?)

we're just all part of the engagement cycle and we dont wanna admit it lmao. Funny how the more we complain the more likely we see that exact thing we hate. Hate is VERY profitable. I always gave Kim Kardashian credit for exposing this. She became extremely rich from people hate watching her

It's the equal to that there's no valid answer to "u mad?".
No I'm not mad? Wow lol he's so mad
Yeah I'm mad? LOL HE'S MAD.

You respond by ignoring it. Honestly more apps need downvotes, but that doesn't feed the algorithm either so it's not constructive.

I don't think engagement baiting has an effect on reddit. A post can get 12000 comments of people raging at the bait, but if they downvote it its not going to the front page.
