Five Reasons I Hate Blog Posts That are Numbered Lists

1) They are blatant clickbait, which is lame and pathetic in itself.

2) Their pretensions to be definitive and authoritative are nearly always spurious.

3) Why five instead of four? Why ten instead of eleven? 

4) Most of the time they could just as well be written in the form of a non-list post.

5) I don't have a fifth reason.

  1. Sort of agreed.
    But then, there's nothing like a bit of Bored Panda when you're a bored panda. Or trying to calm your nerves

    1. Well, I'll admit I've often found myself visiting Bored Panda, but more when I'm looking for something particular and the answer just happens to be there. My website of choice for aimless browsing is TV Tropes!
