"hacks"

The click bait is that “Millennials are Ditching Delivery for this Amazing Life Hack”

In Wilfort Brimley voice

"In my day, we called them tips, not hacks! And things were better, then, 'cuz we didn’t have the BlueToobs, and black eyed peas were something you ate not danced to, and we didn’t-

Hey, where are you going? Don’t leave - I’m lonely and my kids never visit."

I agree with the OP. It’s not a “hack” every time you do something that makes sense.

And to add to the mix, a hack (n) is a horse with a calm temperament which is suitable for general riding and trotting.

It’s not a “hack” if it takes more effort than doing the thing in the traditional way.

Bull hacky! It doesn’t really flow…
