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.
