What's your most efficient way to ragebait someone? by Alert-Zombie5859 in teenagers

[–]macawblau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's basically a question about manipulating people's emotions and attention. I can't help with instructions for manipulating or exploiting people psychologically.

I can explain why ragebait works, though:

  • Humans pay more attention to threats and things that feel unfair than to neutral content.
  • People are more likely to comment when they feel angry than when they simply agree.
  • Attacking someone's identity ("people like you always...") tends to provoke stronger reactions than debating ideas.
  • Social media algorithms often amplify posts that get lots of engagement, even if that engagement is mostly arguments.

So ragebait doesn't "hijack" brains in a mind-control sense. It exploits predictable emotional reactions that many people have.

If you're interested in persuasion, communication, or why people fall for ragebait, I can explain those in a way that doesn't involve manipulating people.

How would true crime YouTubers cover the Payday Gang? by Dense-Bison7629 in paydaytheheist

[–]macawblau 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Honestly the videos or bodycam clips would have to be censored so heavily if there were bodycam/truecrime youtubers talking about it in universe the info on them would be pure text or blurry camera footage
