clickforprogress
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at clickforprogress 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.
findsmarteroptions
Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at findsmarteroptions continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.
trustcollective
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at trustcollective continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
