I do afilliate linksd, I have a mix of both types of content really, my site didn't have that many posts tbh about 120-130, but the review / best xxx posts get about half the visitors and are giving me about 10x more revenue overall. (And I started them with the same method, just using the AI to write 200-300 words and let it rest and wait for it to rank)
I haven't had much success with purely informative posts, while I do get visits to them the revenue is so negligible I'd need way too many visitors to hit 1k/month with that. I get like 150$/month from Ezoic and that's with 120-130 posts already, assuming it stayed consistent I'd need 1200-1300 posts for 1-1.5k/month from ads alone
I do suggest inserting Amazon links in informative content (the ones you rewrite to improve ranks, you can do suggestions about products when providing a solution to a problem etc)
