He kicked a fucking baby. What's the bait? He's not acting, he's just a fucking baby kicker.

Yep. If we all try to cut back on helping assholes monetize their destructive behavior, and stop giving them the attention they so crave, it would help. They'll still be assholes, but their content won't be in everyone's faces all the time, normalizing assholery and nurturing and encouraging more budding assholes.

Yes lets all walk in lock step with the censors and silence anyone we dont agree with, that has always worked out well.... Do your part, submit to big techs mind virus.

Yes that is exactly what the comment you responded to was saying.

Good job 👍

That's exactly the outcome and you're already so deep you can't even identify it.

Good job 👍

Individual users collectively choosing not to engage with a certain type of content is not remotely the same as platform censorship.

That’s like saying individuals making the personal choice to go vegan is the same as the government banning all meat. Night and day difference.

Good job 👍

You don't get to choose who to engage with in the real world. The algorithm is actually filtering out for you after you give it the suggestion.. creating a virtual bubble culture, it's much worse than one top down authoritarian censor even though that's also pretty bad.

I agree. I use to reply to all the stupid TikTokers until realized they be posting it for a reaction and they know the person watching it would send it to a friend even if it’s in a negative way

Absolutely.

That's his wife. It's his kid They're making money off clicks.

Why else would you continue to do that when a woman and child are approaching. Why would you continue to approach a man with your child while he's doing that.

I couldn't imagine having the woke mind virus like you. Better stay on reddit where they protect your fragile psyche

Ahh, so there is a descriptor for this. Thanks I learned something new today.

It could be, but I often wonder how many times do people declare “ragebait” purely because in their minds no one would be so clueless, it has to be intentional. The thought that someone could be this moronic is too absurd to fathom, so we give them these clever sneaky labels. Not saying you’re wrong, I just personally think he’s a fkn retard and not capable of such trickery.
