What makes bait good?

>>18590472
This is easy
Bump your own thread 6 times.
That's 6 replies
6>5
You'll be popular and loved in no time.

Make a thread that speaks to the blobby masses. One that they can relate to.

>loads of good suggestions
>joke about posting bait
>a-anon how do I post bait?
leave

people who are so lonely that they need to post bait and converse vicariously through others need to just go the fuck outside

Nothing is wrong, you're just in a place where people don't think like you or can't help or find interest in you

I notice threads that get the most replies are really dumb

Just post a lewd picture of a hot girl

What are you wanting advice for that hasn't gotten replies?

>>18590472
Who cares?

Mostly plebs on this site anymore

I wonder.
Target insecure ones.
Post something so wrong, nobody will endure to not correct you.
It also depends on which board you are on.
The pic has to contain somethibg catchy for eye.

Replying just to boost both the post count and your confidence too.

Post replies to yourself.
As number of posts increase, people think something is going on and join.

-Clear, thought out question
-Expressed in the first sentence, without paragraphs of "I've got a real problem and I hope you can help and I don't know how to express it and maybe I should start at the beginning and...."
-Click on catalog at the top of the page and see how most of us first see your post, with just the first sentence visible. There has to be something there to motivate us to click through to read the rest.
-No problem requires 2 or 3 or 4 chapters to express. Say what you want within the word limit of a post.

You're a whiny bitch, that's what you did wrong!

In my experience you always have to get a discussion going somehow. Ask for opinions etc just stating your own is a blog and now one will reply unless your opinion is controversial.

But that is for a productive thread, you can always easily start shitposting thread that will reach bump limit in mere hours
