Myspace Creeper's Status: "It's 102 degrees out!! Let's go to the beach! :D" (Actually kind of hopes I won't comment on this one because he'd rather stab himself in the eye with a spork than go out in this sweltering heat.)

comment bait

a shameful tactic that content creators use to get mindless NPC's to comment on their videos. The content will usually have zero context, contain blatant lies or something they pulled straight out of their ass to invoke controversy. The more comments they receive, the better the chances are of the video going viral. Similar to clickbait and rage bait except the goal is to confuse the viewers into getting them to interact with each other. avoid.
