[Facebook] How to report "Clickbait" posts?

Facebook has introduced an option where you can report such a post. Over time, their algorithm will become "smarter" and will automatically remove such posts from the News Feed.

Update 2019: their algorithm did become "smarter" as they announced, but they definitely still need the help of users in detecting such posts!

Such announcements are also called "clickbait" because they try to "fish" as many users as possible to click, and when they enter there is nothing clever or it is some kind of promotion, deception, and the like.

You can report clickbait posts as follows:

  1. Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the post
  2. then "Find support or report post"
    then "Find support or report post"
  3. select the "False News" option
  4. Click "Send"
    Click "Send"

And that's it! The more people report Clickbait posts, the fewer there will be.

To click on the post or not?

By Administrator
Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
