Off topic: Does anyone else get annoyed at bossy articles telling them what they must watch, or must read, or must do?

I know it's just an expression, but it bugs me...

What bugs me has to do with the authors claiming their lists are "curated" when really all they've done is collect or list.

Curation indicates that there is a selectivity involved. That is not evident with this list, that or they're using a pretty un-obvious criteria.

(note the original title of the story indicated that this was a "curated list", and the actual repo still contains that language).

That is like 80% of huff post articles.
