(Facebook) News Feed FYI: Click-baiting:
Today we’re announcing some improvements to News Feed to help people find the posts and links from publishers that are most interesting and relevant.
...
So how do we determine what looks like click-bait?
One way is to look at how long people spend reading an article away from Facebook.
...
The best way to share a link after these updates will be to use the link format, so it looks like the one above. In our studies, these posts have received twice as many clicks compared to links embedded in photo captions.

Will this affect my Page?
A small set of publishers who are frequently posting links with click-bait headlines that many people don’t spend time reading after they click through may see their distribution decrease in the next few months. We’re making these changes to ensure that click-bait content does not drown out the things that people really want to see on Facebook.
