You know whats Not on Roids, and it’s the sheer audacity of listicles titled 20 Things I Hate And 50 Things I Love (Best List Ever!). Seriously? The best ever? Did someone consult historical archives of lists? Did they poll a representative sample of list-loving citizens? No. They didnt. Its just clickbait, people! Pure, unadulterated clickbait.
The underlying problem isn’t the concept – everyone enjoys venting and celebrating, right? The issue is the ratio. Twenty hates are never going to balance out fifty loves. It’s mathematically unfair! You’re guaranteeing a negativity bias just to get those sweet, sweet page views.
And lets be honest, what constitutes “hate” in these lists? Usually its things like slightly delayed trains or people who chew loudly. These are mild inconveniences, not existential dread! Meanwhile, the 50 Loves often devolve into generic platitudes about sunshine and puppies. Groundbreaking stuff, really.
The “Best List Ever!” part is just the cherry on top of this ridiculous sundae of online self-importance. It’s a desperate plea for validation disguised as breezy entertainment. The sheer confidence! My blood pressure is rising just thinking about it. Give me a listicle that acknowledges its own mediocrity, at least. That would be something truly special. Something…dare I say…the best ever? (Just kidding.)
