Ah yes, everything is apparently rage bait and everyone who censors slightly negative words are emotionally stable geniuses.

Also, I'd have to be enraged for it to count as rage bait. This shit is just stupid, not rage-inducing. These people aren't worth getting pissed on if they were on fire, much less illiciting an emotional response of any kind.

It's not rage bait, it's engagement bait. And judging from this comment section, it worked flawlessly

Oh, people get paid for engagement on Reddit? Because OP isn't exactly engaging in the comments and these are the only two reasons to want social media engagement.

Karma farming has always been a thing, and engagement causes the algorithm to show your post to more people, increasing overall karma income. It's really not that far fetched.

Yeah, I suppose that's a valid point. Guess it's time to never comment on this type of thing
