Two information portals "gazeta-shqip.com" and "zerishkupit.com" published yesterday (August 22) an article titled "Farewell electric scooters! From September, movement with "dangerous" vehicles in the city is prohibited."
Hibrid.info, after verifying the facts presented in the content, has determined that the title does not clarify in which city or country the event occurred, therefore, as such, it is considered a generalizing title.
The news becomes clear only in the content, more precisely in the headline of the news, when it is stated that, "Parisians and tourists will no longer be able to ride electric scooters in the city... "
Seeing that “gazeta-shqip.com” is registered in Albania (here), while the portal "zerishkupit.com" is known, based on the data of the Facebook page, to operate in Skopje and to write articles in Albanian (here), which means that the reader can very easily be misinformed that the event took place in Albanian-speaking areas, where these portals operate.

Hibrid.info, to prove that the news refers to a decision in Paris, has found articles related to the news from foreign media. (see here and here)
Analyze:
Two Albanian-language portals have published an article on the decision to ban electric scooters in Paris, but the title of the article does not specify which city in which country it is in question.
From the data found on the media in question, the fact that these two portals operate in Albanian-speaking areas may misinform readers that they are talking about a city in the areas where these media outlets operate.
Therefore, based on its work methodology, hibrid.info evaluates these articles as "Clickbait".
Rating:
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.
