The rational point of view on all this is to ignore any and all news from social media outlets like facebook. Get your news from places that do not have a vested interest in keeping you glued to the screen for as long as possible. In a very real sense facebook does not exist without clickbait so facebook's core value system will never be aligned with spreading actual news. It is the same reason network news is no longer news. Real news does not keep viewers glued to the screen so the network channels have evolved into their current form to optimize advertising revenue and ratings.
