A ragebait arc is the narrative trajectory of a creator who pivots toward — or fully descends into — provocation content, often charted by their audience in real time. The arc has recognizable stages: legitimate content, declining performance, first tentative inflammatory post, positive engagement metrics, full commitment to outrage farming. Audiences use the term to map how someone went from being earnest to being a deliberate provocateur, treating the transformation as a story with a recognizable shape and a disappointing but predictable ending.
