One word dominated 2025… Oxford has named “rage bait” the 2025 Word of the Year. A term for content created specifically to spark anger and outrage. But it’s more than just a trendy label. Rage bait is designed to grab your emotions, hijack your attention, and keep you scrolling—because anger drives engagement. Its use tripled in 2025, showing just how powerful these tactics have become in shaping the spaces we spend time online. We can’t fix the entire internet, but we CAN slow down. Question the headlines, read beyond the snippet, and be mindful of what we share. Awareness is the first step to resisting manipulation, and even small acts of thoughtful scrolling make our online spaces clearer, calmer, and more human. #2025 #WordOfTheYear #RageBait #Politics #Insight How often do you click on posts that make you mad?
