That sucks. But it's still ragebait.
His argument is still applicable as if it were posted today.
Yours that it's ragebait implies (because ragebait implies that it's based off a lie or something that no longer applies) doesn't. It's not "still" and wasn't.
Rage bait doesn't imply it's a lie, it's attempting to get others to engage by inciting anger. Not to mention that even if it did imply a lie, why did they blur the dates out? To make you think this was a recent change? Still falls in line with your definition of rage bait misleading you. It definitely was and still is rage bait.
