if you do well in a rage bait debate you can transmit knowledge to the lurkers the debate is for the onlookers not your opponent

i suppose but it seems harmful to constantly rage bait when respectful conversations can help ppl understand and also change their mind

mm only if they’re willing to change their mind otherwise it’s talking to a wall and the only value is making your side look better

i think that's fair tbh, i'm curious how rage bait is better than not responding or laying out a strong argument? is it bc it's easier, more fun, or smth else?

i think there can be a balance between matching the energy of your opponent and making good arguments
