    Facebook : Game Over for Clickbait Articles!

    Yesterday Facebook newsroom announced that they are creating a new algorithm to avoid clickbait articles that we see on our facebook news feed, and unfortunately these days you can’t see anything else on facebook but only clickbait articles. Hope that this algorithm will work to keep those article out to save our time and clicks, also I can’t wait to see what clickbait pages will do now…


    What do you think about this step taken by Facebook?

    Hey, I just read this article this morning. I am wondering how many people will be caught up in the click bait algorithm. I could see a lot of people getting blocked because of writing style. These people may feel like they are being censored and could get quite angry. I guess that we will have to see how well the algorithm works. If it doesn't work well then Facebook risks having a lot of very unhappy members and a ton of bad reviews. Do you think that this new algorithm is a good idea? I think that Facebook is just trying to stop members using the platform for free advertising.

    Oh what a welcome change! I never read the article so this is the first I am hearing about it. I get so annoyed by Clickbait articles. I don't like clicking on something only to find something completely different when I arrive on the article.

    How exactly will Facebook be dealing with this? Will those people posting Clickbait articles get blocked?

    I don't see facebook cracking on the clickbait articles. Most of such content comes from Vice, storypick, buzzfeed. And as you can see those stories surely reach people if they are designed to be that way. Facebook falsely said that they will crack down on such content. But lot of content with clickbait articles is circulating and there is no truth in those stories. As you can see such clickbait articles will continue to thrive. It's hard for facebook to crack them down.
