8 things I hate about listicles

• They’re mostly lazy.
• They’re usually regurgitated bullshit, packaged in buzz words and sold with fake promises. Really. Admit it. Your life has never changed because of a cheesey fucking listicle.
• You can’t get life lessons in 8 or 10 or 6 easy lessons.
• They take up far too much space on Medium, often — ok ALWAYS — knocking off the good stuff.
• Why can’t people who write them do them in multiples of 5?
• Generic.
• They’re not life hacks. They’re just written by hacks.
• You’re reading this instead of the really good shit I write. Come on. Do better.
