The rage bait cycle — how outrage becomes currency on the internet

The attention economy runs on anger. We mapped it.

Rage bait isn’t an accident.
It’s a business model.

In 2025, Oxford named “rage bait” their Word of the Year. It’s content deliberately engineered to make you furious — because anger is the highest-engagement emotion on the internet.

We don’t just show you the bait. We show you why it works, who’s making money from your outrage, and how the algorithm is literally farming your anger in real time.
