Kottke.org is one of the best site, maintained by someone doing it for their interest. And has kept going for twenty years. While I dont visit the site daily, I have kept it on my RSS feeds ( Probably since Pre Google Reader days ), so every once in a while I do read up something interesting, like this post, which has some history worth reading.
I discovered the Ads wasn't appearing. I thought this should be white listed on Ad Block, and it still wasn't appearing. Turns out the Do Not Track privacy features in Firefox stop the ads from showing up. Kottke deserve every bit of ads on the site, and it is only ONE, just one ads!
While i rarely click on ads ( Do they still do CPM? or is it only clicks nowadays? ). I think the Web, Ads, Tracking and Privacy is totally broken. Do we have alternative where ads are generated on Server or Adblock only showing 1 Ads per site. What middle ground solution are there?
