Ads-first makes more sense on broad informational pages

A note on using display ads for broad informational or troubleshooting pages instead of forcing affiliate links everywhere.

Ads-first seems most defensible on pages where the visitor wants to learn or troubleshoot rather than buy. Definitions, route notes, policy explanations, and broad how-to pages may not support a natural affiliate link. The key is not expecting early RPM to prove everything. It is a baseline measurement path, not an income guarantee.
