Rickrolling is the practice of tricking ppl into watching rick astleys 1987 song never gonna give you up

It also counts if you somehow mislead ppl into seeing an kmage of rick astley, or reading the lyrics feom the song, like “never gonna give you up”, or somehow referencint the song where it is not expected.

Note: i have most experience rickrolling on the website tumblr, so i will be biased towards this site. The base principals are rhe same; but technical details may differ on other platforms.

The bait:

This will make ppl want to click on the link.

MAke it simething funny or interestin.

And keep it short.

Usually i will state a fun fact, then provide a link to a “related video”.
