  1. I think it’s lazy writing. It lets someone quickly push an opinion without taking the time to craft it into an enjoyable read.
  2. They are often self-acknowledging.
  3. I’m not sure if I should recognize the numbers as some sort of hierarchy, or linear ordering of equally important items.
  4. I’m not a quick person, so abrupt changes in direction, especially in literature, really throw me for a loop.
  5. I still don’t know why Mckalay Culkan doesn’t get cast anymore. And I don’t know how to spell his name either.
  6. The scrolling or clicking to advance a slide show replaces narrative. We’re losing our storytelling for the sake of speed.
  7. They pretty much only exist to get clicks and generate ad revenue. I don’t want to fund the people ruining journalism.
  8. Lists are for groceries and laundry. Both are chores.
  9. There’s no way everything has exactly 10 reasons for being the way it is. We’re being ripped off or lied to. Either way, something’s up.
  10. Does anyone even finish them?
