On social media, the practice of following one or various accounts at random (or with shared themes, topics or interests) with the intent of harvesting a follow back from the target account. If said target returns the follow, the "follow baiter" will withdraw their own in a short amount of time. Often seen as a scummy tactic to artificially boost an account/profile's follower count, ratio, reach and engagements. This course of action is most commonly seen on the likes of Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. See also: Follower Whore
