RE: Shocking! Facebook changes its News Feed algorithm to combat clickbait

in #steem9 years ago

Hi @anonymint!

Thanks for joining the conversation, and I think crowdsourcing the task of filtering clickbait content from the Steemit using our feedback is possibly the best solution to make sure that Steemit doesn't become a clickbait heaven for internet marketers, or is it already happening?

I checked out the blog post you linked to and I would consider it to be clickbait. For me personally, if I was enticed by a blog post title to click on it, and then I proceeded to read the post and enjoyed it, I wouldn't consider it to be clickbait.

I guess in the case of the link you shared, some people did enjoy the post, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten so many upvoted, right? I personally didn't find the post interesting, but then again I'm not into bars.
