Top Ten Worst List Trends On TheTopTens

Trends are sometimes good things. More often than not, they are bad.
The Top Ten
1 Ridiculous comparison lists

I've only done one comparison list and it's kinda bad to be honest

It's not even far fetched like "Why Ebola is better than Justin Bieber", it's comparing 2 songs people don't think is country. It's still really bad and the worst list I made to date.

"Why do you all hate my list! I could've said Ebola was better" - Guess Who

There are too many of them so I made a different type of list

"Why Adventure Time is better than ebola"...No, I'm not joking.

2 Reasons why ("nice" and "awesome" user) is better than (celebrity)

I had a good intent with these (I started the users being better than celebrities thing) but things didn't go as planned. (See comments below)

These lists are made by those who can't put their brains together for making better lists. Lists made only for the sake of making them.

It creates a positive vibe on users, especially on the most controversial ones!

They all exist because the list of reasons why that user is good was made.

3 Best user of the month lists

These are an okay concept but 99% of the time they are executed poorly. They should be made at the END of the month instead of the beginning. And the creator ALWAYS puts their friends first because they’re nice instead of the users who have actually worked hard.

I'm so bloody sick of these. They're ALWAYS made at the start of the month, the ten items are ALWAYS the creator's friend, and the person first is ALWAYS first because they're nice.

They're always made at the start of the month for some reason. At least when I made my list Best Users of August 2014 I actually made it at the end of the month.

It could be good when the basis of choosing which users are the best is pretty accurate. And who makes such a list on a month that just started?

4 Ridiculous user ranking lists

Top Ten Users of TheTopTens With the Stinkiest Farts. If you hate it so much then remove yourself from it, no one's forcing you to participate.

Best male user who were online on the 11th of July 2015 at 9:43 AM who's username begins with a "G" and has the colour black in their profile picture. One I can top!

I don't think there are many ridiculous user ranking lists. Only user ranking lists which are poorly made.

5 Reasons why you shouldn't take/touch user's food

I don't think anyone understands. Mine was just a parody of Wildhawk's, wasn't trying to rip it off.

Positron's was first and PetSounds' was original, but all the others are just rip-offs.

Only Positron's was original. All others were rip-offs (even PetSounds).

I only made mine for fun.

6 Reasons to hate/not hate/love/like (Insert TV show or music artist)

Eh, I only see the problem with hate lists. Those who don't make hate lists just raid love lists. Just look up a list that panders towards a fanbase with a bad reputation.

"Leave Brittany Alone! "

7 Top ten interesting facts about me

I strongly regreted it when I created my interesting facts list. I shouldn't created it in the first place.

I credit HezarioSeth with starting this trend, when he published Top Ten Interesting Facts About TheTopTens User PetSounds.

I advise NONE of you to look at my interesting facts list... Oh how I regret it...

I've been thinking about making one, but at the same time I don't.

8 Reasons (insert "nice" and "awesome" user) is a good user

Nothing wrong with them

9 Best songs from (album)

I do these lists a lot. But I make sure to listen to the entire album before making the lists, and judge which songs are truly the best from that album. Some of the others who do these kinds of lists should do that as well, not all of them do.

I think that these lists are fine, they are good for introducing people to new music, and are somewhat interesting if done well.

These aren't bad ideas for lists themselves (I have done a fair few), but very little thought goes into many of them.

For these to work they need to be descriptive. Someone like kempokid does these kinds of lists a lot and they're very well structured.

10 Reasons (insert user here) is retiring

I'm so bloody sick of this retiring stuff. Either people are losing interest into TTT, or they just feel like it. If one more user retires, I won't give a damn.

They're good, especially since you know the user will retire then, and they'll just not randomly disappear

Just make a damn post.

The Contenders
11 Reasons (hated list) is inaccurate

We already know you hate it. Stop trying to get some easy fame by pronouncing what is already known.

I tried making a list like this. I failed badly.

Better make a blog post about it instead.

12 Top ten best lists by me

I tried to do one but it failed. Now, I want someone else who really likes my lists enough to make that list. I also want someone who really hates my lists to make a list about that. It sounds weird to want a hate list, but maybe if people complain about my lists then people will check out how 'bad" they are.

"We can't say good things about ourselves." I remember having said somewhere before.
Well, it's one of society's unspoken rules.

I don't think I'll ever make this. Maybe I'll make a list of best blog posts by me, since I blog more.

13 Top Ten (insert something here) titles followed "in my pants"
14 Worst singers of (year post-2013)

All the items will be filled with people who were irrelevant in 2010.

This list is where Justin Bieber shouldn't be in.

We all know JB, Miley Cirus, and 1D are going to be at the top. You already forsee the future so I usually avoid these lists.

15 Reasons why this list was made with (4-9) items

One user made a list about 9 times, and it was fine, because that signifies originality. Now others making ripoffs using other numbers in place of 9 is just annoying.

I'm pretty sure that DapperPickle made the first one, and now there's multiple lists relating to it. The others are just rip-offs.

Four words: so annoying.

And just by the way, the extra two words were for "Four words"

I didn't even find the original one funny.

16 Top ten words to describe (insert thing)

Usually a hate list on anything that's popular. Just look at the list on PewDiePie.

17 Top ten things that start with a certain letter
18 Top Ten Ways to Kill (Someone)
19 Celebrities (insert user here) should date
20 Waifu Lists

Utterly pointless and vastly irritating. Whatever happened to quality content?

21 People we wish we could trade to get (dead celebrity) back

These lists always get ruined.

22 Self-Moderated Lists

Why are there so many self-moderated lists this year? Users should have the right to add items.

23 Fetishes Lists

I was sickened by my curiosity once.
