Commenting on a picture with a number to see something special: A trick that still seems to work well and gets a lot of attention to a post.

Here we have a current example:

Screenshot Facebook
Screenshot Facebook

“STEP 1: click on the photo
STEP 2: like the photo
STEP 3: share the photo
STEP 4: come back to the post and type “5” and you will see the magic.”

So you should click on the photo, click on “Like”, share the photo and comment with “5”.

And what happens then?

Nothing . Absolutely nothing. It just shows that you are gullible. In addition, the photo and thus the page have become more widespread in order to attract even more people.

This scam to give a site more exposure is not unknown to us. We already reported on a shark picture that should be commented with “8” and a picture with a sturgeon that should be commented with “5” .

Conclusion

It's not "magic" (no, you won't see a train collision), but rather a simple trick used by site operators to distribute a post as widely as possible by exploiting the gullibility of users.
