    I feel like back in the day trolling was more of an art where you’d say something stupid to expose someone’s cognitive dissonance.

    Now it just refers to people being dicks. Trolling itself has become enshittified.

      There is some good bait and people don’t even care and even throw money at those people

      But generally, it’s as easy as shit to pick out the bait from real opinion 🎣
