Adsense is not worth it in my opinion. Or better to say it depends on the niche.
Amazon affl. went to shit, but can be profitable if you got the traffic. Its just a pain to get into their program for just earning a few %, which they always decrease more and more.
I would focus on other affiliate programs. There are so many out there.

Solid answer here.
What I like about Amazon is you can be selling baby clothes and get paid for the tv a buyer orders and also for the pair of jeans they order at the same time. Sadly they cut some commissions last month and some are down to zero.

Amazon affiliate a is legal scam tbh, lowest commission ever, you get nothing even for selling some $1000+ worth products (and not so many people buy 1000$ items randomly).
Adsense is another joke lol, I have a yt channel with 100% original contents, no copyright music, more than 5000 subs and more than 5000 watch hours. Still not getting the partner with adsense.
I would focus on creating my OWN product, selling it at my OWN price with my OWN refund policies, etc... not relying on some scammy affiliate program. Anyway there are several affiliate programs that are worth your time (and money to invest)

I've had a lot of success over the years with eBay, less hasstle than Amazon and many of the same sellers.

Currently I just focus Adsense only. I used to do Amazon + Adsense last time. As you see i got post before my amazon account got ban, just because i no more maintain my old sire. That time I busy with other stuff , etc so I close that site.
Than I still promote amazon stuffs via social media " which is consider already break their TOS. " as we all know need a site . drive traffic from there .You can promote via social media there is a link but provided you still own a site . But I don't have thus one thus one day my account got ban inside still got 300 bucks. I do email them why my account ban , yes as expected , they claim the traffic come is not via from my site . Now I back to adsense , lucky my new site got approve . Nevertheless I know Adsense also crappy now a days but still as long you drive traffic to the site , earnings will come , even no clicks on the ad. For Amazon is must have sales , someone buy under your link but one thing good is the buyer don't necessary buy the stuffs you promote as long they stay in your cookie , buy other stuffs you will earn . Yes amazon earnings also crappy . Sometimes they can don't count your earnings despite got sales ! I does noticed that , I don't know how they view etc. .
Nevertheless cross my Adsense account is good , I ever heard " rumours from some bro here claim if your earnings go to few k or more , kinda will got spot check on your site "
I never use bot traffic or any illegal traffic to my site , all traffic a legal way . I does have to admit is auto bog . I don't know how it go , currently just do this site see how far it go.

From my point of view, the overall quality of Adsense and Amazon is unbeatable.
You won't ever find a shop online that makes people buy so easily with a simple referrer. Same for Google Adsense targeted ads. Just in time for your given site.
But this cost a lot of money, and obviously they pay a lot less that if you create a DIY promo system. If you have a gardening site, and you have a gardening shop, this is a perfect match. At best, if you find a gardening online shop that is willing to pay you affiliate comissions, then this could be a better deal than Amazon...
But unless you have like 100K daily visits in 1 site, this is not worth the time. So it depends really a lot of your niche. For a $0.1 CPC niche, maybe Amazon could be better. There isn't a rule of thumb to say: Go just for adsense. In fact you could combine both: if your page could find a selling purpose (for example if the query shows 8 out 10 selling results), then you can redesign your ranking page to be just a Amazon affiliate seller. But if 10 out of 10 are informational sites, stick to Google Adsense and maybe put 1 featured product from Amazon if you feel it's worth.
As I said, there is no rule of thumb.
