For me it depends on the target demographic. Usually I find the first person in books aimed to a mature audience OK. Sometimes even better than third person to deliver the narration.
Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day is in first person and it's an amazing book. One of my favourite.
I've also recently read About My Daughter By Kim Hye-jin and Mieko Kawakami's Heaven and they were both in first person and good books.

But yeah, it doesn't work for me in YA books (I thinki the only one I could read in first person was the hunger games) and I can't stand it in Fanfiction.

But I have never really thought about the demographics and will have to look at the first person povs that I did enjoy. I think they were aimed at more mature audiences. In general, like OP, I avoid first pov like the plague. So many have just been...they take me out of the story and I find it hard to care about the character
