I think I used "reddit" as a main example since people have been talking about SEO and appending "reddit".
Of course there's still plenty of other good content out there besides Reddit. Stackexchange is another one. But small blogs by experts powered by ads seem to be mostly gone?
I frequent the site Anandtech.com. It used to provide amazing free tech hardware content. Incredible deep dives into CPUs/GPUs etc often with 10+ pages for a single product review.
It was powered by Adsense ads. Today, it's almost dead as they one of their main experts, Ian, decided to just write on Substack independently. I will say that a lot of tech reviewers have moved onto Youtube where it's harder to block ads.
