Top 10 Reasons You Love Lists
INTERESTING 
Tags: lists, love, reasons, why, mass, people, you, read, easy, concise
Here are some reasons why everyone loves lists... can you help us think of a couple more?
| 1. | Instant Knowledge - Nobody likes to work hard and study to acquire knowledge. |
| 2. | Requires Little to No Individual Thought - Lists don’t make you think - they outline what you should be doing and tell you [how] to do it. |
| 3. | Lists Have Authority - When a mob sees information outlined in a list they instantly acknowledge its authority. |
| 4. | Easy to Memorize and Casually Mention in Conversation - Members of the mob are always looking for ways to stand out from their friends. |
| 5. | Lists are Skimmable - Who reads an entire article? Honestly. |
| 6. | Mobs Like Uniformity - Masses don’t really enjoy chaotic articles that aren’t confined to lists and instead are structured by paragraphs centered around a thesis. |
| 7. | Lists Have an Ending - People don’t like going into an article not knowing if it’s going to be “continued later.” |
| 8. | People Like Counting - I don’t have much of an explanation to this one, but it seems that people in general really enjoy counting. |

I agree, especially when I'm searching for info online. I'd rather skim a list than read a whole article only to discover it contained nothing helpful.
