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.

Comments: 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. Comment by: buccicone.2
