Listicles were a big fad not only on Medium but on other blog and journal sites. But the views are dropping on listicles. some of my friends say they grow tired of reading the listicle format of telling stories. They read halfway through and not read the entire thing and not bother to applaud or if they remember to applaud its only one clap. It’s just my personal opinion but the stats don’t lie. Claps are dropping on listicles. Don’t get me wrong, they are great if you are writing tech or business stories, listicles make reading stats easier to read on that type of story.
