Rage bait is the worst internet trend to date. Yeah yeah, I know trolling always existed, but it was actually funny sometimes, done to bait assholes or uppity people usually, and done for the love of the game. Rage bait is just doing something out if pocket or legitimately bad just to get eyeballs on you which now translates to free money for them because the world is a fucked up place that rewards people with no principles now. My wife just saw a TikTok video where some jackass stuck his hand down his pants and the rubbed his hand on his toddler's face. What the actual fuck are we doing, humanity?

    It got monetized. Read up on a Google published white paper “Attention is all you Need” from 2017 and you’ll understand how it all went to shit so quickly.

    Yeah. Not too difficult to see how we got here. How to get OUT of this hellhole, however, that's the real question...
