Monopoly played as intended is fun. People's "house rules" are what ruin it.

I would love to hear more about Monopoly is "fun" when played by the rules. It is very easy to be almost out of the game after 1-2 bad rolls, but you still have to sit there for a half-hour while you slowly bleed out, having no way effective way to overcome the hole you are in. When you finally are broke, everyone else keeps playing while you cry in the corner.

Meanwhile, the "winner" (such as they are) has been in the lead for an hour and just needs to land on a few specific squares to actually win but because they don't, they just have to circle the board until someone else goes broke.

Look up "speed die". They use it in Monopoly competitions and it mostly fixes that problem

It's an ok game played by the rules, but there are dozens of better games that cover the same theme.

Monopoly played as intended teaches you why landlords are evil.
