This seems like a bad idea in that it doesn't address the actual issue: most people just read headlines now. The question that leads from that is asking whether that is a result of the design of Facebook.
Google is a different problem and it looks like they recognized the problem more with them and wanted to deal with the algorithms but I still think that people have accepted too readily the problem is that people just scan headlines and not that Facebook and Google to a lesser extent have an incentive for people not to click links too frequently.
- buboard 6y agoclickbaity headlines are a result of websites desperately trying to get attention through clicks. If they don't need the clicks to remain profitable, the problem will go away
- zarriak 6y agoI mean it in more the sense that Facebook only serves your content to a very small amount of people who like your page to test it before they send it to more and more people, and that if I was trying to resolve the issues the companies were having with Facebook I would address that issue first.
