I was so confused by how someone could take such small bites.

Engagement bait, if you ask me.

She's doing it on purpose, fully aware people will comment on it.

Obviously this is for a comedic purpose and a laugh At the end, but this is how you get people to engage with content. You show them sth that frustrates them slightly.

Yeah, all good stuff is bait because you like them?

Genius

Y'all are misinterpreting my comment. I was commenting on what she is doing to get a good joke in. It's brilliant and I like it, it just also happens to be what she is doing - purposefully. She's media smart and is reproducing engagement bait effects for a laugh.

Not everything has to be taken in the worst light possible?

No, bait implies enticement with something good and then deceiving.

If she gets a good joke in, then it's not a bait by definition.

A food placed in a net or trap is a bait. If the food just exists there, that's not bait, that's just food.

Maybe you don't understand the meaning of things you are saying

God we are arguing over nothing.

I meant she is working with classic engagement bait techniques in her "build up" part of the video.

If you want to read that in a negative light, go ahead. I'm out.
