[ SLANG ][ ENGAGEMENT_TACTICS ][ NOUN ]

Content or captions specifically designed to prompt viewers into following back, distinct from comment bait by targeting the follow/follow-back action rather than comments.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

LORE & ORIGIN

Extends 'engagement-bait'/'comment-bait' to the specific tactic of prompting mutual follows, once creators started openly angling for reciprocal follows as a growth tactic.
