Clickbait

“It seems to be pretty clear [from our study] that false information outperforms true information,” says The Atlantic newspaper. Fake news is starting to become more of a problem as the years go on. It is used to try and make you believe things even though it is completely fake and there is nothing to support it. Websites try to use things such as .org, edu. and etc. to try and convince you they are legit. Another way fake news can get spread so quick is two or three people may post and their friends may repost and when everyone is saying and seeing it. It can be hard to not believe.
