Engagement Bait refers to a broad category of social media posts specifically engineered to manipulate platform algorithms through forced interactions, such as likes, shares, and comments. These memes often take the form of simplistic math problems, polarizing 'this or that' comparisons, or sentimental prompts like 'Say Amen' to show support. While originally a legitimate tactic used by pages to boost organic reach, it has evolved into a popular satirical meme genre. Internet users now irony-post these templates to mock low-quality content, the 'dead internet' phenomenon, and the predictable nature of people who fall for digital hooks.
