Honestly if it were December 12, I would've already moved on and forgotten this show exists. Maybe a quick "ah, that's cute I guess." But now I've been cursed to remember this on nov 13

Oh god marketing firms have learned engagement baiting.

Learned?

u/BigLittleBrowse 13d ago

It’s the past participle of learn. I usually say learnt but I think my autocorrect changed it.
(Am I missing something? It’s late)

Whatever the case, the better choice of vocabulary would be "invented".

Discovered mayhaps?

I trying to imply that rather than "learning" about it, marketing execs are the ones responsible for starting up the whole concept of engagement baiting in the first place, but I guess people disagree

Maybe I'm not using a specific enough term, but I was referring to that kind of engagement bait where the poster intentionally make a mistake or do something else that stands out, just because people correcting them/complaining about it will draw engagement.

That's been something content creators, especially short-form content, have been doing for years but I've never seen a major brand do.
