Support your local content site. Great places are hanging by threads as we speak. So if you like content sites, try to get over your hatred of ads, don't try to kill every ad they try to serve you, and work on getting accustomed to the fact that nothing is free. Really. Nothing is free. If you like a site, throw them some money in the way they ask -- buy something, subscribe, drop a tip in the tip jar -- whtaever makes it happen. Why? Because nothing is free.
