Hi, I'm Xavier — the creator of RageBait Score. What started as a small experiment in tone detection has grown into a tool for understanding how media can emotionally influence public perception.

RageBait scans popular news sites three times daily to analyze headline tone and track emotional manipulation patterns. All scans are cached to reduce API and hosting costs, but with your support, it could go further.

If you'd like to support its continued development, you can use the PayPal Tip link.

• Domain: $25

Your tip helps keep this public-interest project running — and growing.

Even small tips go toward covering the core costs and keeping RageBait ad-light and user-friendly.
