==Why is this article not called "Online Whaling"==

While i love this article ; online whaling is definetly a subject that deserves to be in this wiki, I dont think the title is correct. For consistency and searchability purposes, i believe this article should be titled "Whaling" or "Online Whaling" or "digital whaling" or something like that. The title "Dont take the bait" doesnt provide searchability nor does it accuratly describe the subject. [[User:Plankton|Plankton]] ([[User talk:Plankton|talk]]) 18:12, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

==Delete?==

As much as I agree with having an article concerning the predatory practice that began gaining traction in the early 2010s (''Candy Crush Saga'' being a prominent example), I believe the usage of LLM is too pervasive to salvage it. It may be simpler to use some {{Wplink|WP:TNT}}. And looking at the page's history, I was not the only one with this view. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 00:18, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
