Well sometimes. It depend on what it is about. If it's about your favorite games, then no.
If it's about the best kind of pancakes, then yes.

I don't care...but it is always interesting to look at them. Sometimes I see things I might otherwise never have heard of. So, while it is just someones opinion listed in numerical order...it still has some entertainment value.

Very, very little entertainment value. It exists though!

They are certainly overdone, and I dislike the authority they tend to assume with their titles (Top Ten Best Games Ever! etc.). However, they're a simple way to express a list of personal preferences, easy to write, and can help introduce people to things they may not have heard of before. They're handy I suppose, although a lot of the time they seem to overestimate their own importance.

I don't really care, most of the time I look at them just so I can disagree with them.

I will care and read about the first 7 or 8 listed and then after that all of the numbers and names blur together and it loses all meaning. Then I curl into a ball and cry in existential angst.

It depends on what it is. If it is about the top twenty brands of toe-nail clippers, then hell no. If it is about the top twenty violence-packed movies of the year that you really need to see, then yes.

I only use them for two reasons.
1) I can maybe discover new things
2) I can now judge whoever made the list, based on what was included on the list.

Most of those lists are created and organized just to cause arguments and debates. It's a massive conspiracy to turn us all against each other.

I find them interesting to read. I always take them with a grain of salt though because my tastes of games are not the same as anyone else though. My top 10 list would include a Harvest Moon game because it is an enjoyable series to me. I like Afrika because I am the target demographic, but it is going to be on a few of the 10 worst games of the year.

What I hate is when they assign numbers to top 10 lists. It always gets into convoluted bs about why X game should be ranked higher then Y game. I prefer no numbers at all because it tells people these games are what I consider to be my tops and I do not rank them because I like them all equally.
