5 Reasons People Love Listicles

in life •  8 years ago 

Number 4 will blow your mind!

1. THE TITLE WILL INFER A JUDGEMENT ON THE CONTENT
People love to read what interests them as well as enrages them. So whether you are someone who genuinely wants to know what “the 10 best cover songs of all time and why” are or already have your own ideas and would like to prove the article wrong (even just to yourself) this title will none the less attract you to click on it.

2. THE ARE SET OUT IN A MANNER THAT OUR BRAINS CAN EASILY PROCESS
We can easily scan through the content which has kindly been broken down into bite sized portions ready for consumption. If you don’t like the sub heading of one of the points you can simply skim past, onto the next without too much metal effort.

3. WE KNOW WHATS COMING. AND WHAT'S LEFT
We all have busy lives. We all like to think they are much busier and more important than they are. Reading listicles while waiting for the train to arrive or to be served in a line is the perfect way to while away those couple of minutes without getting too caught up.

4. I'M SURE YOU SAW THIS TRICK COMING
The lower end of the listicle class will add suspense by the suggestion in the sub heading that the consumer is about to read something AMAZING that will "blow their mind" or "never be able to un-see". Much like point 1, this trick is two-fold in that it will suck in both the gullible and the cynical alike

5. IT JUST FEELS DEFINITIVE
It is a nice little packet of information wrapped up in a metaphoric bow and we can feel a sense of accomplishment once it's done.

I must be tired and not had enough coffee but this is what I read "5 reasons people love testicles"

Back to the topic, Lists make things so much easier to read and understand, it breaks up a wall of text to give the reader a more uniformed read.
