The Verdict is in: Facebook says I am guilty of Felony Clickbait
So what did I do wrong?” According to FB’s Newsfeed guidelines:
What is clickbait?
“Click-baiting” is when a publisher posts a link with a headline that encourages people to click to see more, without telling them much information about what they will see. Clickbait intentionally omits crucial information or exaggerates the details of a story to make it seem like a bigger deal than it really is. This gets attention and lures visitors into clicking on a link, but they then quickly return to News Feed. See how to drive reach and referrals without clickbait.
So my headline was too short. Only eight words. Or was it they way they were arranged?
In the “Do” list, I found this laughable:
Share articles with accurate headlines. Instead of relying on misleading headlines to intrigue the reader, share articles with accurate headlines that don’t exaggerate or sensationalize the topic and add your own voice to help drive genuine conversation around the content.
I might be off the zip code here, but you cannot get more accurate than the title to describe why those harmless got murdered. “I guess I I should have posted: “You won’t guess what happened to these people while they were sleep. Click on the link now!” as it fits their parameters.
My guess is that I finally entered some sort of list and I need to be shadowbanned/Throtled to reduce what little influence I may have.
I am trying to remember, but I am sure I have not pissed off the Chinese….yet..
