  1. Obvious point, but one reason newspapers keep publishing cynical ragebait is because it works. Publishers generally don't care how stupid or reactionary their articles are if people keep clicking and sharing; it only encourages them

  6. #Mixtape < a giant abyss < #Dispatch

    IGN scores are just a joke. They gave 9 to Dispatch, and 6 to #CrimsonDesert.

    Sorry but their scores mean nothing, and are meant to create rage content around.

  11. Closed #platforms are the bane of my existence. What do you do when platforms like #Facebook become unbearable due to a rise of #hatespeech, #ragebait and #scammers but you can’t do much to move your #followers to another #platform, and you can’t seem to get followers at all on other platforms? Like Facebook is where most of my followers are, and I have no way to move them at all to another platform due to it being a closed platform. And seems most people on #BlueSky have quit because why do I never get any engagement despite having over 2K followers there?

  12. Environmental activists are such hypocrites.

    ... You can't complain about big companies polluting the earth through contributing to Co2 emissions WHILST actively consuming oxygen.. 🤔🙃

    People in the US moaning about gas prices is so stupid. Like stfu about it being so expensive to fill your 40L overpriced big man truck.

    Maybe if you didn't spend your minimum wage packet and tips on a car and it's insurance you could afford a house.

  14. I understand #ragebait is bad but like idk the manosphere is pretty shit and it's not like the government is trying to curb toxic stereotypes.

    🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  15. Been getting ads from the UK government essentially saying "social media bad. Parents talk to your kids."

    "Oh no my kid is being influenced by #ragebait."

    Mean while the parent themselves is believing all the misinformation and slander in the news and on facebook.

    And liking and sharing every fucking political AI video.

    Fucking pathetic.

    The majority of countries are homophobic.

    The majority of the world is homophobic and transphobic.

    Most women you encounter have a high probability of disliking transwomen and believing that they are a threat to them.

    Am I wrong?

  17. #ragebait is so fun.. Because you can say something outrageous and slightly truthful at the same time. For example:

    "I sure do hate how all prominent Trans people in the media are not only MAGA but also transphobic."

  18. Vallanpitäjät ohjaavat alamaistensa huomion pois itsestään, kun huonontavat näiden oloja. Kun eri tavoin yhteiskunnallisen vallan ulkopuolelle sysätyt ryhmät kuten työttömät, työntekijät ja pien- ja pakkoyrittäjät, saadaan riitelemään keskenään, vallanpitäjät saavat olla rauhassa.

  24. Rebecca Black’s “Friday” kicked off the ragebait era Fifteen years ago, the singer-songwriter showed the web loved nothing more than a pile-on #Ragebait #AttentionEconomy #Platforms #LOLCows #Exploitation #Sadism #Trolling www.salon.com/2026/02/16/r...

  25. Time for some #RageBait
    I just stumbled upon this illustration on a website.
    Triggered much, fellow type designer?

  26. My (probably naive) prediction:

    The first #video website that bans #clickbait, #ragebait, #AI slop and #ads will replace #YouTube.

    #Internet #web

  27. In my ongoing struggle to reclaim my attention, avoid rage bate and enshitified platforms I'm back on mastodon. I gave Blue Sky a solid try but for me it still ended up being a long stream of politics. Mastodon feels more like home so here I am again moved from infosec.exchange over to mastodon.social. Hello again #fediverse !
