It’s no secret that the internet contains a lot of false information. Fiction pretending to be legitimate news is shared on social media all the time. Much of it is read and shared as if it were real. Some fake information is created to get people to click on links, since websites can earn money when people visit their pages. These articles are often referred to as “clickbait.” Some clickbait is intended to trick or confuse readers. Content like this often relies on inflammatory language and shocking images designed to invoke an emotional reaction from consumers.
