I feel like I’ve honed my skills at avoiding obvious bait on the internet. I don’t participate in memes designed to weasel out security questions. I don’t respond when people ask about the best music or movie or book in this genre or that decade, especially if the question is phrased in a way that ignores whole demographics.
