Rage-baiting

This is why social media is so fucked up

Rage-baiting, or rage-farming, has a new wave of content creators and social media influencers not only inciting rage online - but profiting off viewers' anger too.
At its core, rage-baiting is a manipulative tactic used by content creators to elicit outrage from their viewers. The idea is that if you're angry, you're more likely to comment, share, react, and ultimately increase the online engagement of that video, which helps content creators drive more traffic to their channels and earn more revenue.

Yeah...nah. Annoying, irritating - but I haven't got so much time left that I'm going to waste it on people who just want attention in order to make money.
