If you have lots of friends who tend to share like-farming posts on social media, we get that it can get quite repetitive and tiring telling them exactly why they shouldn’t be sharing these sorts of posts.
So we’re compiling a list of photo comments or blurb for you just to copy and paste into the comments section of any like-farming post that you see, politely letting them know why they shouldn’t be sharing these types of posts, as well as providing a relevant link where they can get more information.
Just save each image to your computer for easy access, or alternatively you can copy and paste the blurb.

The photo of the person has most likely been stolen and used without permission, and the post is trying to exploit you so scammers can make money.

Posts that claim something will happen if that post accumulates over a certain amount of shares or likes are most probably scams. For example a post that claims Facebook agreed to introduce a new feature (or remove a new feature) if a post gets over 100k likes would be a scam trying to trick users into liking a post.
