WWWEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL: It says "Possible Clickbait" on a site that's absolutely true and factual with basically any and every questioned answered along with rock solid evidence, it must work by ----well look I may be stoned but I know there aren't any REALLY quick people actually watching and reading what you type in. ----so yes, algorithm or what deez nuts have you. Only thing is some people will actually believe it is click bait or whatever cool but not cleaver word some programmers taped away from the keyboard and into to the "var/s" Hall of Fame, as it graces the cyber world before ya know it and they see it, and believe lies, against the truth, and not find out for themselves with a trusted and or accredited source or their own eyes and ears. Maybe invent something like...WAAAAA I've GOT IT. Thanks for the idea. Enjoy my rating. #MAGA | |

Gives a person a good heads up. First bad item was a local news site was classified as click bait. Previously it was not. Wish it posted what has changed. | |

Crashes all the time. Only marks conservative sites. Seems like a fake fake detector. | |

Infowars and Breitbart are rated 5 out of 10? I think I'd like to see the assessment methodology used. | |

I think this is a great add on but have some concerns. I saw it work on some specific pages but, never saw it in action as a scrolled through my actual timeline. Along with that, there are more specific websites that are known to be fake and should be included | |

This site literally listed several sites that are absolutely trustworthy as being fake. Disliking MSNBC doesn't make them fake news. |
