Yes, okay, I'm a bit in a funny mood today. Call it German humor or whatever you want, but I was already looking forward to writing this post. I'm one of the first who abused this technique to attract the reader's attention in the early years of this blog. Therefore, I want to be one of the first to ask for this madness to stop.

10 10. It seems forced because you repeat yourself
1. Everyone does it.
If everyone jumped off the tenth floor of the skyscraper japan whatsapp number list where you work, would you do it too? Now don't tell me yes, because you'll make me look bad. As a blogger, you want to stand out. Years ago, this was still the case, but now it's becoming quite tiresome.
2. Visits don't matter
Yes, that's true. Lists are a perfect way to generate traffic because they trigger quick clicks. Don't obsess over traffic because what really counts is getting readers. They will ask for more than just a catchy title.
3. It is filler content
Yes, I have sinned many times in that regard too. This time we are not talking about me but about you. Typically it can be used to reference existing articles, which is great for new readers but irritates those who have been following you for a while.
