Are you sick of rage-bait content taking over your feed? From filthy house “clean with me” videos, fake pranks, and staged baby mama dramas… to gross toilet cooking, outrageous podcasts, and absurd “life hacks,” creators are cashing in on making us angry. In this deep dive, I break down the WORST rage-bait trends on TikTok, YouTube, and podcasts — exposing how these videos are engineered to trigger outrage, keep us watching, and make creators money.

We’ll cover:

✅ Filthy house cleaning videos (Resilient Jenkins & others)

✅ Fake pranks & staged couple drama (Ace Family, Carmen & Corey, etc.)

✅ The infamous McDonald’s baby daddy skit

✅ Toilet punch & disgusting food stunts (Kate Heintzelman, Josh & Mama)

✅ The 100 Layers Challenge & wild beauty influencer stunts (Meredith Duxbury)

✅ 5-Minute Crafts & absurd life hacks

✅ Male podcasts & conservative shock shows that say anything for clips If you’ve ever found yourself hate-watching, leaving an angry comment, or sharing a clip just to say “this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen,” then congrats, you’ve been rage-baited. Let’s unpack why this content works, why it’s so toxic, and how we can stop feeding the cycle.

👀 LISTEN TILL THE END for my take on why outrage = money in the attention economy.
