- 10 – Every one is doing it; it's a cliche as old as time itself, it's getting tired.
- 9 – It has no scientific value or no objectiveness whatsoever; people put whatever they feel like in their toplists in an unapologetically arbitrary fashion.
- 8 – It's too easy; any moron and his grandma can rig a toplist; all you need is a topic and ten platitudes to say on it.
- 7 – It's been done to death: from the top ten nose-picking techniques to the top ten reasons why the weather is nice, there isn't any theme left that hasn't already been the subject of a top ten list. The well has run dry.
- 6 – Too many people haven't really understood the concept and put two or three items in a single entry, so that their top ten becomes a top 11 or 12. Also, too many people wrongly assume that peddling self-derision will make their list less lame.
- 5 – The vast majority of toplists deal with topics nobody even gives a flying fuck about.
- 4 – U mai hav a toplist on ur skyblog but u wil b still a moron and u ll rite as bad lol
- 3 – It's obvious padding. From inept talk-shows to blogs desperately groping for a meme, toplists have become a crutch compensating for the lack of content. It is especially symptomatic of a blogger that ran fresh out of ideas and hasn't posted in like, about a month and a half.
- 2 – Toplists are more often than not made by pompous asses who figure that because they have a blog they can write whatever they want in it.
And the number 1 reason why I hate toplists:
- 1 – Because it's my blog and I can write whatever I want in it
Next time, the top ten reasons why my blog is falling apart at the seams
