Bait on imageboards is a staple of the shitty imageboard culture. As bait is designed to provoke users into responding as much and as fast as possible, they manage to exploit the “BUMP” feature of IBs, causing their post to remain visible and the front page and keep continuing the vicious cycle. An easy way to get (You)s! Note that excessive usage may result in lowered post quality
Saging bait is therefore considered to be a solution to the problem of their prevalence, ALBEIT people don’t sage bait like they’re supposed to because they’re retards. As a result, only the fucking jannies can come in and kill off the bait, (they don't care about bait anymore THOUGH) although they’re usually too busy hunting down another pack of hot pockets (or dilating while watching illegal materials) to give a shit. Bait can be both a force for good and a force for evil for ‘jakkers. If ‘jakkers bait 4cuckshitskins, that’s good. But if 4cuck shitskins bait ‘jakkers on the ‘arty, or if fellow ‘teens bait other fellow ‘teens, well, then its bad.
It's a well known fact that only nusoygoogoogagas fall for bait, so whenever you see bait, you must post that one black and white cartoon vector graphic fish image with the hook to alert others of its baitiness (or whatever the fuck you’re supposed to call it).
Killing yourself is a great way to minimize the effect of bait on your body, mind, and soul. Alternatively just use the hide button.
Calling Jiren weak/fat. Will give you a (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) and a 15 minute ban. Good test to see if the jannies are sleeping. The rule forbidding was removed.
Arguing a really retarded point. Bonus if you make people genuinely concerned that you're not bait and are really this stupid. Bonus if your thread stays on /soy/.
Pretend to fall for other bait, especially really obvious bait. Act like a fucking dumbass and people will give you 6000 (You)s calling you retarded, a great example is replying to someone going "lol delete system32" with "ok WAIT WY IS MY COMPUTER CRASHING".
Pretending to be an unironic seething 4cuck or tranitor from an altchan
Pretending to be the target of a raid finding the Sharty
Posting screenshots of /lgbt/ when it's the singular post of that whole board that isn't suicide bait and going "hahaha they're doing better than us /qa/ lost"
Chudbait is a bait tactic where as the name suggests, you post a Chudjak along with a stereotypical Chud politically incorrect phrase. These posts are also often accompanied with Racebait and making chudjak secretly sexually obssessed with BBC and/or Trannies. Recently these have been somewhat banned due to connection with the cord, avatarfagging, and just generally being unfunny bait spam
You getting ready to make your gemerald bait image
USE POWERPOINT/LIBREOFFICE/GOOGLE SLIDES INSTEAD OF PHOTOEDITING PROGRAMS LIKE GIMP/PAINT. They aren't meant for making informational posters. Trust me when I say that this will save you HOURS. I'm not kidding or making shit up. It is REQUIRED if you want to easily make these things.
You will need to decide your approach. If you're going to go all in and don't care about being banned, use the 'ru as a reference to get pictures for your bait image. Otherwise, stock images will work just fine.
This guide will not be on how to write bait images but rather on how to use tools to MAKE bait images. You need to have a bit of creativity.
If you need to edit images before putting it into your powerpoint program use paint.net or GIMP. NEVER USE THE DEFAULT MSPAINT. It's also useful if you know how to use the magic wand tool. Here's how you can learn it within like 2 minutes(saves hours). paint.net and gimp
Here is a great example of text. Going from most attention grabbing to least attention grabbing. The font used is Passion one. you can get it here https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Passion+One and you can get it in google slides(you have to hit the add more fonts button and search for it). Note that it comes from jewgle
All good bait images must have TEXT in them. It should convey a message that can derail / make people seethe and generally cause anger. Your bait image should NOT have too much text in it; no one will read it. The text SHOULD NOT be too small. Bonus points if your bait image is still readable even when the imageboard user hasn't enlarged it yet. Here are some tips to make your text stand out:
Your title should enrage the reader and hook them to continue reading.
Your font should grab the 4cuckers attention.
Colors like yellow should be avoided as they blend in and are hard to see.
Make important keywords bold for added effect.
Just because the spellcheck says everything is fine does not mean it's fine. Use ChatGPT to fix wording when needed.
Look at these images(the second one is stretched I know) Notice how the backgrounds draw your attention. in a sea of random posters and shitty low quality white text images. these pictures instantly capture your attention because of there backgrounds.
This advice is more so dependent on what bait image your making; however, there are still some rules you should follow.
DO NOT USE A PLAIN WHITE BACKGROUND. It's amateurish and ugly. I mean you can do it but you lose the "attention grabbing aspect" of your bait image.
Check to see if your powerpoint program supports gradients. If it does, then you can increase your bait images effectiveness by almost 2x! libreofficegoogle slides and microjew word
If you're going to make a more complex background then you need to know about layering. Here are some guides to help you with that google slideslibreofficemicrojew word
There are stock simple shape backgrounds online if you're that lazy.
Check to see if your powerpoint program supports templates.
Note that these examples are all very subjective and based on what bait image your making. Feel free to do things however you want, as long as they look good and catch the 4cuckers attention.[edit | edit source]
Images are something that can greatly get a 4cuckers attention. Note that when working with images it's better to edit it in a photo editing program like paint.net or GIMP and then drag and drop the image into your powerpoint program.
You can use Online AI tools like slazzer (there's probably better tools out there though) to automatically remove the background of any image and have the transparent version. Just right click and save as once you're done. No need to login. Extremely useful.
Learn to use the magic wand tool. I mentioned this before but its still extremely important. paint.net and gimp
If you want transparency in your image so you don't have a white background everywhere then you're going to HAVE to use .PNG as Jpeg / jpg formats DO NOT SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY and the little checkerboard pattern will come off as a pure white background. Only faggots and troons use .jpg
Your image does not really need to be required to get the message of the bait image. its OK if the bait image still conveys the same message with or without the images you have. What matters most is that it gets the 4cuckers attention
You can get bonus points if the image you included in your bait poster is funny

Statistics and how to fake/manipulate them[edit | edit source]
90% of 4cuckers who see a informational attachment will believe almost every word of it as long as it looks professional or enough work was put into it. If you NEED to put evidence in your thing than try putting dead links. that will make it seem like the image is just really old and the links are dead but there was once a bunch of evidence. Here are some great examples of lying
Heres an example of a fake reply or message https://greentext-generator.vercel.app/ put a bunch of these in your image to make it seem like people agree with you
You can make fake 4chan replies to make it seem like people agree on X or Y in your image. see https://greentext-generator.vercel.app/. if you want it to be more believable then just screenshot the reply and leave the image out.
Human psychology is weird. For example, if I said "blank can increase your chances by 1.6x" you most likely wouldn't care. But if I say "blank can increase your chances by 60%!!!!" then it will grab your attention more. Always use % instead of decimal
If you need to use a graph then use a pie chart. You can easily change the visualization of the pie chart to be slightly bigger for one side than the other. This makes something seem MUCH bigger or smaller than the other. If anyone calls you out (0.0001 chance here.) you can simply point to the percentages and say "no the percentages are accurate." because while the percentages are accurate your pie chart visualization of that drawing is biased.
This page is literally about bait.
