title: How can I stop Facebook from loading a preview of the URLs I post?
body: <p>So I've notices from my Facebook Page Analytics that posts without link previews (thumbnail &amp; excerpt) get over 10 times the 'reach' as posts with links previews.  </p>
  
  <p>I recently used an app called Buffer to post to Facebook and the first 10-15 posts included a small bit of text and a shortened link (that was clickable) - but no thumbnail or excerpt underneath.  Those posts had a reach of about 250 people.  </p>
  
  <p>Now, posts (from the exact same app) are generating the link preview with thumbnail and I'm reaching 10-12 people per post.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have any insight on this?  Is there a way to disable Facebook's link detection for previewing URLs while keeping the link in the post itself?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks :D</p>
