does white hat still worth the time

It depends on so many variables. Which kind of ways have you tried?
 
Depending on what your referring to some white hat methods are black hat. If your doing anything with the intent to manipulate the search engines its dodgy to google. However, from personal experience you should 100% think about your user experience, user intent, and good quality content for the money site but waiting for natural links and indexing is a bit time consuming for me. It also depends on what type of site you have and the niche your in.
 
Got my biggest whitehat site including 10k pages delisted, but old super-blackhat-cloaked sites still rank well, crazy.
 
Whitehat is key to successful SEO at this point of time, as we all are witnessing new changes in google's algos, policy, it's all about user experience and user experience now, google's new algos are only removing and penalizing websites with black hat SEO, it's time to focus on the quality of content, relevancy and natural linking, we are entering in the era of AI, there is no place for such black hat SEO tactics.

Hope It Helps!
 
Well, its technically an "official way" the things should be done. In the long terms white hat methods are definitely better, especially since many beginners will lean to using pretty bad bh techniques that will damage the reputation. But they require a lot of time. Its worth it.
 
For legitimate business, it's worth it. I would do grey hat to start, then transition to white once you have to reoccurring revenue.
 
The key is doing both and understanding why certain blackhat techniques work and others don't. I'll take whitehat content and good blackhat links every time.
 
the title, thank you
I would say it's definitely worth it but in the longer term, as it really requires some effort and time. But, don't forget that if you want to achieve some real results and establish online authority you can only achieve it with On-Site SEO and generally all elements that we call white hat SEO. I always preferred paid advertsing when someone wants to get fast results than black hat SEO.
 
White hat SEO is worthy. patience is matter here
 
I would suggest finding and reading something from Backlinko,
that guy is great when comes to white hat techniques generally.
 
There's very little you can do white hat. Also, Google has classified all link building as black hat. So yes your skepticism is valid.
