I have been amazed over the years by the content of some blogs (and sites that refuse to be called blogs, but are) with really strong information and thoughtful opinions -- or just really wicked satirical social commentary. Some ask for money, some don't. The ones with ads don't seem to suck up to advertisers. The ones who actively ask for money from readers bother me. I work for a living; blogging is more or less for fun.
