If I may plug, here’s a new blog I’m working on that both aggregates and generates lists: http://listicles.com

I don’t mind a decent list on one page with a few good insights. I do mind a list that:
Is a copy and paste of the same old tired information
Is spread across several pages
Makes me regret ever the 3 seconds it took to click over to the page.

I don’t mind generating ad revenue for someone who takes time and effort to produce quality writing.
I hate being a pawn to increase traffic, links value, and revenue through exploitations of ad sense.
I think reputation for quality posts should be more important than ability to write headlines.
