The adsense game is a tough one, you have to generate thousands of page views if you're in a general niche or competitive niche like say beauty or travel, you get more views but the CPM and CPCs suck
While for the most lucrative niches like finance and insurance, and SAAS, and those topics are boring and don't generate a lot of traffic, so you get better CPMs and CPCs but without all the volume it you might not make that much more.
Additionally with Google pushing performance max advertiseres can't see where they're bidding and optimise for your traffic, so we've seen a massive spike in MFA - made for advertising sites spun up with Ai articles trying to get revenue before the site is burned by google search or suspsended from adsense
Alternatively you can do gray content like CBD, crypto, Gambling and sports betting, and do direct deals with alt networks, but that also comes with its own drama, fees etc.

Video comes with it's own costs, you have to factor in the hosting and serving and also optimise for serving video content from 3rd parties, if you choose google you get better serving inventory but google takes a big cut, 3rd party video networks pay better but if they outbid google it can leave your users with a poor experience calling that content

Lol Made for advertising, it's those sites that spin up content with AI, pull in other sites RSS feeds and then split the articles into a number of pages to drive up page views,
