Listicles still work well if the angle feels natural and not AI-generated copy paste.

It's always been like this, at least for me.

Good listicles usually create curiosity and give quick value.
Best types:
Best types:
- “X mistakes people make”
- “Things nobody tells you about…”
- “Best to worst ranking”
- “Useful tools/apps/websites”
- “Psychology or hidden facts”

Basic generic listicles get low engagement these days. To engage people and make them read long, comparisions, mistake, case studies or step by step listts can work in a better way.

Listicles are helpful as they have multiple uses. Web site content, as guest posts, email messages, forum posts, or (broken up) as comments and for drip in content. They perform well across each of these fronts, or one type use with good results can offset the same content not doing so well on another front.

Did it affect your monetization?

No, it shouldn't. Though you might end lesser compared to sites that users spend longer time on.

I haven't monetized yet. Will do ads prolly, kinda wary about affiliates since i think they don't read whole page cause of low session time

You can experiment with both to see what works best.

Most listicles feel the same these days. The hook matters more than the list.
