via Facebook Newsroom:<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard from people that they specifically want to see fewer stories with clickbait headlines or link titles. These are headlines that intentionally leave out crucial information, or mislead people, forcing people to click to find out the answer. For example: \u201cWhen She Looked Under Her Couch Cushions And Saw THIS\u2026 I Was SHOCKED!\u201d; \u201c or \u201cThe Dog Barked At The Deliveryman And His Reaction Was Priceless.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To address this feedback from our community, we\u2019re making an update to News Feed ranking to further reduce clickbait headlines in the coming weeks. With this update, people will see fewer clickbait stories and more of the stories they want to see higher up in their feeds.
\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really hope Facebook\u2019s power here helps to make the web a better place for people who read blogs. Facebook has an opportunity to have a real impact on junk-journalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Facebook Newsroom: We\u2019ve heard from people that they specifically want to see fewer stories with clickbait headlines…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-05T18:17:42Z","apple_news_api_id":"96f4e01e-a64f-42fd-a459-77d14a201fbb","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-05T18:21:05Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AlvTgHqZPQv2kWXfRSiAfuw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1B0","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4601,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/04\/24\/linked-is-google-making-the-web-stupid\/","url_meta":{"origin":6138,"position":0},"title":"Linked: “Is Google making the web stupid?”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 24, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"via Seth Godin: If you\u2019re a content provider, the shift to mobile, and to social and the shift in Google\u2019s priorities mean that it\u2019s worth a very hard look at how you\u2019ll monetize and the value of permission (i.e. the subscribers to this blog are its backbone).
