    That website was called ‘cute overload’

    It was like social media exempt there were no people only animal cat pictures.

    A whole feed of it.

    I get the sentiment expressed, but tbh…

    possibly depressing examples of two of these things existing, emphasis on the "bait" part

    you can already get lovebait, just look at all the romance scams people fall for. Hey guys, I’m trapped in a driver’s license factory, but I’m also a lonely heiress to $50,000,000. I love you, please send me $1,000 on Moneygram baby <3 I need to buy a crowbar to get out of here! I’ll love you 5ever. You, me, and the $1,000,000 I’ll give you as a wedding gift.

    you can already get whimsybait, check all those ads for AI saying it’ll make you the protagonist of a quirky story with reactive characters

    I feel like profile pictures like hers and other similar posts could be accurately described as either yearnbait or lovebait. We’re just not widely using those descriptors
