To further confirm the fact that voting through this poll is not taken into account by the "BBVA" television show, the announcement made through the official account of this "reality show" published yesterday (April 24) also shows this.
The public has the opportunity to vote for the favored people in this television show through text messages (SMS) from their phone, as well as the “my Vodafone” application. While people outside Albania can vote at the link www.voto.top-channel.tv. (see here)
Analyze:
Doubtful portals have published an article claiming that the content includes the opportunity to vote for the favorite resident in the television show "Big Brother Vip Albania".
The content does not offer any opportunity for the public to vote for favored individuals.
Based on research conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the opportunities for the public to vote for the favored persons in this television spectacle are through text messages (SMS) from the phone, as well as the "my Vodafone" application. While for people outside Albania, they can vote at the link ëëë.voto.top-channel.tv.
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.
