progresswithcontrol
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at progresswithcontrol continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
ideaprogression
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at ideaprogression extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
signalthefuture
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at signalthefuture did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
