does anyone else feel like they're the first to realise something is ragebait?

For those who dont know; ragebait is a tactic on social media where you attempt to make people mad/fustrated for engagement. The reason why people do this is so that more people view their content, share it, like or comment.

Ever since i started to actually use the internet properly (2019), I noticed that alot of people would attempt to make others mad on purpose, and I didnt really understand why at first. I truly started to understand when everybody talked about ThatVeganTeacher, she was a horrible person but as soon as she was irrelevant she would pop back up again and say something absolutely unbelievable. Everyone of my friends fell for it and i was kinda like.. "hey, you do realize its a facade right?" and they looked at me like i was crazy.
