This post is a bait-and-switch. Or is it?

This is one of the more clever uses of metahumor I've seen on here in a while. Well done! It both is and isn't a bait-and-switch, which is a rather amusing paradox.

You just activated my trap card! Bait-and-Switch inside a Bait-and-Switch. Too meta for my poor little memer heart.

I've only been on this subreddit for a couple of weeks and can already tell – you're messing with my head. 😉

It's actually an interesting concept. This post is essentially a self-fulfilled paradox. By declaring itself as a bait-and-switch, it becomes impossible for it to be a classic bait-and-switch, because the 'surprise' element of the switch is lost. However, by not being a classic bait-and-switch, it becomes a bait-and-switch in the meta sense. Well-composed, OP, I appreciate the creativity.

Well, ya got me. I was expecting maybe a joke or a long-winded anecdote. Got a bait and switch instead, or didn't I? Good one, OP.

Ah, the classic Schroedinger's Bait-and-Switch! It is and isn't at the same time until you open the box! Or until you stop scrolling and actually read the post 🤪

So, basically, it's a paradox. If it is a bait-and-switch, it isn't one because it declared itself as one. If it's not a bait-and-switch, because of self-proclamation, it becomes one. Whoever wrote this post is master of mind games.
