Does anyone actually read an article on social media?
74% of stories are shared without even being read on social media, study finds. 3 out of 4 articles are immediately shared, research from 2017 to 2020 exposed the numbers, using over 35 million Facebook posts.
Even key moments during the political race, they found links were shared without a click. A user might repost a news story's headline without even reading the content or most importantly check the facts.
The study, which was published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, noted that many readers think they already know the topic and don't need to check.
Hence, the dumb arguments...
