I find that a lot of these kinds of junky posts, especially the listicles, do get a lot of hearts/bookmarks. I think the reason is that they are aspirational, they create an illusion for beginners that they're just a list of links away from becoming a highly paid expert. I can sympathise - I've certainly bought advanced textbooks in my time on the same principle, and of course they largely go unread.
