Fauxbait is a slang term used on the internet to describe content that is intentionally designed or created to attract attention and stir up controversy or debate. It refers to posts or articles that are made with the purpose of sparking strong reactions and engaging people, rather than providing genuine information or starting meaningful discussions.
Examples:
Example 1:
Person A: Did you see that outrageous article about alien invasions on that website?
Person B: Yeah, it’s just another piece of fauxbait trying to get people riled up.
Example 2:
Person A: I stumbled upon this video claiming to have proof of Bigfoot’s existence.
Person B: Be careful, it might be just another case of fauxbait, attempting to go viral without any actual evidence.
