- low key bait63%
A subtle, understated form of internet provocation that doesn't announce itself as bait — the post looks innocuous, the comment seems casual, but it's clearly engineered to plant a seed of controversy or quietly get people arguing. Low key bait is more insidious than overt bait because the person can always claim they were being sincere. It's the 'I'm just asking questions' of engagement farming: technically deniable, obviously intentional.
