@felixdev9 It is a listicle, and I repeat that not all listicles are bad. I followed the guidelines for listicles on dev.

And your original post before editing did critique listicles.

It still does, too.

There was no talk of listicles being shallow or meaningful.

There was talk of listicles being shallow. None of them being meaningful, hence the update.

I apologize if my original post was unclear about the fact that not all listicles are bad before my edits. If there is a specific way that I could improve any of my posts overall, then let me know.
