What am I missing about monthly dividends?


I have been trading recently. I am interested in stocks with dividends. What I don’t understand is why do not lots of people purchase stocks that have high monthly dividends? For 2 examples, AGNC and TWO provide monthly 8%+ divided monthly. Why not purchase and hold for over a year to make profit from the dividend alone (excluding taxes)? What am I missing here?
