Black Hat vs. White Hat SEO: Which is More Popular?

I'm curious about the current trends in SEO. Which type do you think is more popular today—Black Hat or White Hat? And also, do you believe that the top-ranking websites are primarily using effective and organic SEO strategies to achieve their positions? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Popular does not means traffic or income. Real businesses eventually get traffic and income.
If your not might as well go blackhat all the way, that's what this site is about. Not saying some real businesses don't do blackhat they do too, casino, betting, adult are some examples.
Now blogging all by itself is blackhat as it's not a real business.

I'm pretty sure that they do. Otherwise how would they rank if they don't do SEO? Your question has a self-explanatory answer

I think gray hat is more popular, because most webmasters do what Google prohibits

such as increasing site authority by buying backlinks, or buying fake good reviews for your site, big sites small sites did these

at the same time they do proper on-page, having quality contents, etc like a real white hat seo player
