Alternate Reality Games (ARG) are fictional storylines presented as existing in Real Life. An Entry Point is the way to start interacting with it.
Often, it's fashioned in such a way that the potential player is unaware they are entering said alternate reality. It might be presented as just puzzles lying around that you have stumbled upon. Or fake commercials. Anything goes as long as it's enticing.
It's also common for entry points to be found within other works, such as clues during the credits or written in a prop. Hidden ads, if you may.
For all these reasons, they are referred to as rabbit holes, after the rabbit hole that led to the Alice in Wonderland adventures.

When Neuro-sama first streamed with her updated 2.0 model, her starting screen featured a QR code in the background, which upon scanning, led to the YouTube channel Underscore Neurosama.

A.I.: Artificial Intelligence: The entry point for the In-Universe ARG The Beast is Jeanine Salla, a name which appeared in red in the credits of A.I. commercials. Googling the name would yield the first site in the game.

Ending the Cycle: While fans could always interact through the Tumblr ask function, they slowly started to notice there were definite puzzles to solve. With the introduction of the files and the creation of a Discord server, fans flocked together to solve the puzzles.
