because it the only way they can get attention. Obviously since most of the ranking blogs involve "hottest to ugliest, or funniest to most boring" so of course I would probs try to be extra to get up in those rankings even if it means making myself look egotistical, cringe, and just plain stupid lol ; I wish we had ranking blogs like "Most/Least Strategic, or Best/Worst Social Game" maybe then people would try to be more serious as they're being ranked according to their Brain and not something that reflects off a mirror.
