Content creation is going through a Renaissance due to the pervasive use of ad blockers. One example of this is the website thewitecutter.com, their content focuses on finding what the best piece of technology is for a given category. Which tablet should I get? They suggest the iPad mini, if you have to get one right now, but make it clear that you should wait while they evaluate newer options. Typically tech site obfuscate a recommendation by forcing you through multiple reviews so you look at more ads, but the wirecutter doesn't since ad blockers make that strategy moot, their entire review is on one easy to read page. They monetize their site primarily through providing special hyperlinks that gives the site a referral bounty if it is converted into a sale. Take this in addition to the many people who make a living posting to YouTube just posting themselves playing games, it is a truly interesting time for content creation I just wish it hadn't taken ad blockers for it to come about.
