I'm wondering why SEO listicle books are not as big of a problem, and how to replicate that.

I guess there is no Google for books, and no ads/affiliate links. And there are libraries where books are manually curated using the Dewey hierarchy.

People pay money for books. It's a much harder sell for a web page.

Listicles do show up in print though. I see them at the grocery checkout stand.
