The dubious portal with content in the Albanian language "sot-news.com" published on April 30 an article titled "Vote/ Who do you want to be the winner of 'Big Brother VIP'?".
The photograph in this article shows portraits of four candidates from the reality show Big Brother Vip Albania.
There is no voting option in the content of this article, as falsely claimed in the title.

This published article was also shared on social media on Facebook by the pages "Sot News" and "Luiz Ejlli". (see here and here)
After research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info has confirmed that this article was taken from the portal "xing.al", which conducted a survey, where readers can vote on which of the candidates they want to see as the winner of "Big Brother Vip Albania". (see here)
To further confirm the fact that voting through this poll is not taken into account by the television show “BBVA”, the announcement made through the official account of this “reality show” on Instagram, published three days ago (April 30), also shows this. The opportunities for the public to vote for the people favored in this television show are through messages (sms) from the phone, as well as the “my Vodafone” application. While for people outside Albania, you can vote at the link www.voto.top-channel.tv. (see here)

Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
