>>881272194chan is full of people that get validation from just having a thread with people arguing in it. The "what did blank mean by this?" is one of the more common ones to engagement bait. Other classics are "For me it is... blank", "Now that the dust has settled...", "Can we all agree that....", and the more recent for the brain dead internet age "What do we think about blank?"
/vt/ is the worst because corpo wars are easy to bait reactions with. 9/10 times it is engagement baiting else where on the site but here it is 6/10, with deflection/thread killing being the other 4.
