Here’s a little Internet secret: lists are popular. The 10 Best Quarterbacks in the NFL, the 50 Greatest Pizza Toppings, seven Guys You May Have Heard of Named “Clyde,” it doesn’t matter. If you make up a list of things, people on the series of tubes are very likely to read it. They may even get angry about how you ranked the Clydes and leave comments and email the article out to their friends and post it all over social media. And then you’ve gone viral because you dared rank Clyde Drexler above Clyde Tolson. Add some pictures, break up your list into multiple pages and you’ve suddenly got yourself a whole load of page views thanks to putting like things in an order. It’s pretty great.
