Number of words is not important if it's fluff. Google considers it thin content.
Is it a review site? Many review sites have been destroyed.
Have yoy recovered from last Google update: Helpful Google update?

My review sites + informative articles have been destroyed, I get 0 impressions and clicks for 2 weeks already, I checked Google search console and site results in google and there is no manual action/penalty. RIP all my hard work

Interestingly one of my amazon-niche sites has actually gained from the most recent update. Here's what I think helped:
1. It's no longer about just writing good English (AI too can write good English these days), your writers have to be capable of carrying out in-depth content that actually gives new perspectives. It's not enough to re-write what's already appearing on Amazon or competing sites. Your writers have to think outside the box - which means they need to be supervised by a hawk-eyed editor right from the research-phase of the writing process.
2. Avoid using images that are already being used by other websites. If it is a review article, Google expects you to have your own set of images...apparently to prove that you actually tried out the product prior to reviewing it. Of course, this is not realistic if you're into large-scale affiliate marketing and in that case you're better off getting your images from social media platforms or re-designing images through Adobe.
I can't say I've figured it all out, though. I am also still learning.

Regarding 2, is it ok to remove the product images when I rank them and just collage all of them and put them in the top? I don't see a way I can get the pictures of the products and I'm not interested in buying them.
Thank you

Back yet?
Nope, so either I got beat hard in the updates or google is still sorting out all the changes I made over the summer. In looking at the crawl data and indexed pages in GSC, there are pages from before the string of updates in the fall that are discovered but not indexed. Not sure what to make of all of it. I'm going to leave everything I did over the summer as is, add new content over time and see if it bounces back.
