The idea is that you can use the image you want, and by clicking to see comments facebooks counts this as engagement.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s worth mentioning that if I click on a hyperlink facebook knows, and the website knows, so nothing is gained by forcing us to jump through the &ldquo;comments&rdquo; hoop. This is especially true since once three or four views have been expressed in a comment the rest is noise.</p>
