“rage baiting” and why influencers are intentionally making you mad

rage-baiting
I know what that is, I want to know where it is here.
I personally don't have an opinion on this, but the implied tension is "Wild animals are not pets" and the woman befriending a wild animal.
Censoring shit that doesn't need to be censored (i.e. swear words, and more recently any word like "kill", "died", "murdered", "raped", etc.) is likely the cheapest form of ragebait. You automatically trigger a bunch of engagement through responses of "you're allowed to say X on the internet". Engagement = More views, so throwing asterisks or blurring random words is proliferating.
Huh, interesting and surprisingly logical. I am way out of touch with the current state of tiktok, Facebook and I don't know what.
