And you respond to it by saying 'this is bait'

Then did you inadvertently take the bait yourself?

Wouldn't it be best to just swim past it?

I dunno.

Like, you're taking the time to respond to it when you could just ignore it. You're still taking it right in your mouth



please no

Who paid you to look at this?
It's not really inadvertantly if you knew it was bait before clicking and wanted to warn others.

if you're baiting someone, you're not just looking for any kind of response

you're trying to incite an argument

so if people catch on and point out that it's bait, that kind of stymies your effort

What if it goes deeper and the whole thing is attempting to bait those people who call it out into arguing with the OP

Then that person has a really bland sense of humor.

You'd be correct.  That's the best way to deal with it; rob them of attention entirely.

‘The most inoffensive user on this website’ - Verbatim
Not really tbh. Just as long as you don’t get sucked in to the “it’s not bait” “no u” loop or get annoyed, then the troll is pretty unsuccessful.

At the end of the day it’s inconsequential, but there’s heaps of way better ways to kill boredom than get into internet arguments with random strangers.
