Any headline in the format:

[number] [nouns] you need to [verb]

is a flat lie and should be ignored, blocked, reported to the ombudsman, whatever.

@Nickiquote once i read an article that said something similar, i think it was titled “0 shits you need to give to listicles”

@Nickiquote I don’t think it is a coincidence that we live in a world where listicles and AI slop both exist.

I am sure Sam Altman saw the chumbox listicle ads from Taboola and Outbrain and thought “I wonder if a computer can write those” and then the Venture Capitalists were like “Here, take our money!!”

@Nickiquote Also headlines of the format:

[country] [does/introduces/etc] [something great]

are usually exaggerating and misleading. Especially if "country" = "Europe" and the headline is written in America.

@Nickiquote

Especially if they end with "before you turn [age]"
