Doubtful portals with content in Albanian have published yesterday (April 26) an article titled "Vote/ Who do you want to be the fourth finalist of 'Big Brother VIP'?".
The photograph in this article shows portraits of three 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.
Links to the article published on the dubious portals "newz1.com", and "enews3post.com":
This article published by dubious portals has also been shared on social media on Facebook by the pages: "Wait a minute.","Albanian Artists”And“Interesting Newspaper".
After research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info has confirmed that the article published by the suspicious portals was taken from the portal "xing.al", which conducted a survey, where readers can vote on which of the candidates they want to see in the final of the television show "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” published yesterday (April 26) 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.
