engaging with something is perpetuating it. that’s how rage-bait works. the more people comment the more it spreads. content doesn’t have to be good, it just needs people to engage with it
I see why you’re getting at, but I think you’re mistaken.
Rage-bait works by evoking a reaction. It spreads because people become incensed and then feel the need to share the reason for their anger.
This is the opposite of reaction. It is a calm response to the OP explaining why they are reacting to rage-bait and inviting them to reconsider their posting.
This is not a free speech issue. The commenter makes a worthwhile point, and your point meanwhile is incorrect. Critique is not the same as reaction.
