I was browsing through my Facebook feed recently and saw a very interesting article, actually alarming, claiming an asteroid was set to hit earth some time next week. I don't usually click on Facebook links as most are bogus, but this one turned out to be pretty interesting.
The first half of the article seemed legit talking about this asteroid on path to collide with earth... and then the author of the article revealed that it was a joke... which you probably figured out by now. And,then went on to talk about a new study (link below to that story) that shows how Facebook and Twitter users are more likely to tweet and share salacious gossip news stories without actually reading them first.
So if someone is spreading rumors, they only need to entitle their story with some salacious comment for it to be picked up and shared heavily. This is the link to the original story, not the original article that I clicked on from Facebook - sharing this link for more information about the study.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/new...epressing-study/
the study finds that these sort of blind peer-to-peer shares are really important in determining what news gets circulated and what just fades off the public radar. So your thoughtless retweets, and those of your friends, are actually shaping our shared political and cultural agendas.
“People are more willing to share an article than read it,” study co-author Arnaud Legout said in a statement. “This is typical of modern information consumption. People form an opinion based on a summary, or a summary of summaries, without making the effort to go deeper.”?

Well I'm not sure what makes them think I would share their link when I can't even read it without having to sign in! Why would I share that if I can't even read it without giving them my email address and agreeing to their terms and conditions? That's not how websites should be!

Yep, it doesn't disappear. They are basically forcing me to sign up to their free 6-week digital subscription and daily email newsletter just so that I can read the page. That's not how the Internet should be. Anyway, I get the point of Beverly's post. Most people don't read the full thing only the summary or even the title only and just "skim" it. If it's appealing to them then they share it on. I think people share it BECAUSE they don't/didn't read it in the hopes that more people will talk about it and learn something for them. Or if it's really important then they'll see more people talking about it and be more inclined to read it in full later.
Also, as we all know, click bait or link bait works wonders! And some big names in the industry do it. The Washington post, Huffington post and the like. But you don't want to do it too much. Just every now and then maybe when and if there's call for it if it hasn't been done to much recently already.
I once ran a website on drones when drones and quadcopters were big. I created a salacious link bait title that a mans dog had been drone napped in the park and people saw it happen and couldn't do anything as the drone came down and hovered above the dog releasing a net and then flew off with it. Well as you can imagine when I posted this on Reddit it went viral and I ended up with about 50k people on my site in a couple hours it was insane. Even though at the bottom of it I put that the story is completely fake and fabricated and did not really happen in big red letters. Yet people didn't bother to read that they just kept sharing it. Crazy people! :)

wow! And, no one was checking? :/
I wonder what the net result of all these shares are then if no one is clicking through. Though possibly all those shares are considered Engagement by Facebook - and increased engagement does improve your organic reach for posts. At least, I believe that's how it works, something to be thankful for. :)

I'm in agreement with you on that. Typically, I'm slow to share but quick to like. For some reason, I think they can see my liked content too and hopefully if they like what i'm liking then I'm doing a good service to my tiny collection of Facebook friends. :)

Yes, sometimes you can read posts even here with replies that are not relevant to the discussion topic. I find those posts to be spam, and they are in dire need of deletion. I despise those that don't read complete posts, or messages and only reply back based upon the first 3 sentences. *scrolls all the way down to the comment section without reading anything* Ah hem *coughs*.
