It all started when someone had an opinion.

There's no way they could know that their idea would turn into a rage bait. It's not like they're a time traveller or a prophet who can see the future. So why does rage bait become rage bait? It's simple. There are people out there who disagree with other people's opinions so vehemently, they just have to cry tears of blood and throw a tantrum... this typically happens on the internet.

So, in conclusion... rage bait is not the fault of the so-called "rage baiters". Instead, it is solely because some whining crybaby decided that they can't tolerate an opinion that doesn't confirm or validate their own opinions. Hence, the real rage baiters are the ones who point out that something is a rage bait, or decide that they have to get angry over something trivial.

This is the essence of rage bait.

You're welcome.
