1. Ever wonder why so many blogs have numbers in the title? Social Media marketers tell us this is what people like to click on.

3. Even so-called "mommy bloggers" will sell their space to plug products and cut and paste PR materials to give their "review."

5. The fact is, any web design consultant will tell you that people don't read websites. They scroll to see the pictures and find things to click on so they don't read that, as well.

11. I will divulge a mathematical proof of the above point for one hundred thousand dollars sent in an unmarked box filled with bitcoins.
12. If the medium is the message and the message is massaged, is the medium the massage?
13. Unlucky to end here.
14. I refuse to be constrained by bourgeois numbering systems.
15. Did Biden win yet?
