I agree with @inhuofficial here, it's definitely a double-edge sword.
I don't even know what badges I have, and I don't care.
I write consistency for me, not for you, your neighbour, or anyone else.
It's for me.
And if these badges can help beginners form a habit, i'm all for it.
I think the hyped listicles happen to any form of person, not just people who need to push out articles, but those who think they will get better from it.
I've noted a lot of people wanting to get into technical writing, because they think it will make them rich.
Either i'm doing something wrong, of their believes are off, because I'm not rich 😂
Anyway, point is, it will always happen, because it works!
Look at the top articles "ever" on dev.to they are 9/10 listicles.
So where lies the real problem?
I think in people clicking and engaging in those articles.
Don't ask me why, because I certainly don't enjoy them (and yes I have written some in the past shame).
However there is a matter where I think they can even work fine, if executed correctly and bringing value to a point.
Alright ending this comment with:
Don't choose quantity over quality!
Consistency rocks, but choose something that works for you
