Good news facebook after clickbait links

To reduce the number of clickbait videos on its social media platform and improve user experience of videos, 
Facebook has announced  there are many images  strung together to promote products and businesses. These spam videos usually contain links to low quality websites or redirect . 
Facebook employs algorithms which promote prolonged videos. In order to trick users into visiting low quality websites, spammers have exploited this algorithm and garnered more clicks on their static videos and directed users to malicious websites.

This is cheer good news for the victim users . 
According to Facebook’s announcement, “Publishers that rely on these intentionally deceptive practices should expect the distribution of those clickbait stories to markedly decrease. Most Pages won’t see significant changes to their distribution in News Feed.” The blog further elaborated that users want to see accurate information on Facebook. “When people click on an image in their News Feed featuring a play button, they expect a video to start playing. Spammers often use fake play buttons to trick people into clicking links to low quality websites,” the blog explained.
