I understand it as if you stay hungry you are being foolish. If you are hungry eat.

Put a standard of 8 character minimum, and hackers will start targeting 8 characters+

Just install a password manager, or "develop" your own "algorithm" of how you create your passwords. For example a password "Hackernews"; move each character once to the left, which would give: Jsvlrtmrd. Obviously this "algorithm" has to be change every few websites, or somebody will find out your pattern.
