Ask HN: List of Blogs Without Ads?

5 points by TheMightyLlama 5y ago ↗ HN

I find that I’m tired of either infinite scrolling through headlines or getting bombarded with divisive content because it gets the clicks and the site has ads.

Which are your blogs of choice?

I skip publications and enjoy reading dev blogs, or at least blogs where I can tell there are no content marketers behind.

For non-tech, mine is ad-free -> https://knowledgeday.in

As for reading, a lot of these blog links found on top HN threads have negligible ads. Plus I have a habit of turning on reading mode.

Or I just send blog links to Pocket and then read them later. The reading mode/pocket app cleanup the ads while also making the content more readable with font/bg of your choice.

I guess you are tired of intrusive ads?

I run a blog myself and the money that keeps it running comes exclusively from my pocket. All the content is free and fully accessible (no paywalls, reading quota, etc.). I build the website and write the articles during nights and weekends.

I share your discontent with the current state of things. However, I plan on having a small piece of real estate on the page with an ad banner as long as it's privacy-focused, non intrusive and doesn't hurt performance.
