Top 5 Ways to Include Number in Post Headline

I was feeling picky going through the feed the other day. As I skipped my favorite poster who happened to run the SEO overoptimisation day, I started contemplating about the fact I am actually not opening many posts at all.

Then a weird idea came. I ran a quick check in my head and it felt right. I opened my own posts and verified I actually avoided the thing subconciously. Yes, I was checking my headlines for the presence of numbers.

This is my 18th post (in 13 months) and only the fourth to contain a number in it. I have recently used the "Top X Things" once before this post. One time it got smuggled in as I quoted another post's headline (that happened to be Episode 11 of a series). One use was actually generic (I discussed a certain dustsweeping threshold in #dCity game).

Well, I used "First" three times in my first eight oldest posts. What a noob.

So I sat down to narrow down the circumstances that make me skip opening posts that i never read or upvote as a consequence. They actually come in quite big baskets. Fortunately, I am not fat enough to create any injustice so any conclusions are drawn at your own risk.
