3 Reasons Why I Don’t Write Listicles
Trust me… All of these reasons will shock you!
Chances are, you’ve read a lot of listicles on the internet.
Writers will clickbait you with a great headline and reel you in with an eye-catching thumbnail. And before you know it, you’re doing a quiz to discover what type of kitchen appliance matches your personality.
That’s why I want to share three reasons why I refuse to write listicles. Hopefully, this article will inspire you to avoid them, as well.
1) Listicles Are Often Filled With Disappointments
Writers love to include false promises by saying readers will be shocked by a specific point. But most of the time, listicles are more underwhelming than a Black Friday sale at the Dollar Store.
2) Most People Don’t Read Entire Listicles Anyway
Are you waiting for my third point to see if you feel shocked? Since you clicked this article in the first place, your subconscious is desperately begging you to stay. So, read until the end.
You know you want to.
3) Listicles Clog The Internet With Articles That Don’t Provide Any Value
“25 reasons why the world needs TikTok.”
“7 reasons why you should fart more in public.”
“439 facts about toilets that you didn’t know until today.”
Like many people, I value my time. I don’t want to read (or write) articles that clog the internet with virtual garbage. So believe me when I say that I will never write a listicle. They belong in the trash.
Listicles are short, quick to write, and often go viral because people have nothing better to do than share trashy articles on Facebook. However, I promise never to write a listicle. Not now. Not ever.
You’re welcome.
