Fake headlines.

[SuperBitMan]

E get watin some news sites and bloggers done dey do for long now and e dey very bad because e dey misled some people.
I know say News site and bloggers they fine make people come there site or page come read news because na so them dey carry make money and them dey mostly use interesting headline to catch our attention which e dey very okay but to use fake headline just to capture people attention dey very bad because e dey misled people.
Yesterday my friend call me for phone dey ask me if na true say Burna boy done die, I con ask am say who tell am say Burna boy done die en say en see am for news I ask am which news e say Phoenix I con tell am to wait make I confirm I con enter tunde Ednut and other news page I no see anything like that, then I enter phoenix news site and immediately I con see am.

But as I read down I con discover say na watin Burna boy talk them change like that, I discovered the real news after reading down.
This fake headline dey very bad make them stop am because e dey misled a lot of people.
E get one day way this fake headline done make me believe say Bitcoin Don hit $200k.

Another thing abeg make we learn to read every detail of any news before concluding.

Having said that, the caption is more of a click bait and nothing else.

I don't think so sokani, this is a very important topic that should be on the main board, a lot of people have been mislead by fake headline even when it concerns cryptocurrency, if you read all what I wrote you will see where I mentioned how such fake headline mislead me in thinking Bitcoin was already $200k and I no similar thing has happened to other people.

The point I'm making with this topic is to tell members to read every detail of a News they see online, some members in this forum have posted fake news here all because they didn't read every detail before concluding.

Are you saying I should move it because of the example I used, I think you should focus more on the message the thread I created is passing.

There is no need to argue about it. I think the mods will decide if this topic truly belongs here or in off-topic. If you won talk about misleading headlines about bitcoin price that one dey different no be Burna boy story you go put for main board. You come even put him picture sef.
