* Should be easy on the eyes. No low contrast themes please. That fad needs to die.
* Good, interesting content.
* Independent websites preferred. No medium, substack, tumblr and the likes that sooner or later succumb to dark patterns.
* Nothing too fancy. Just simple content. But content that is interesting to read. Content that teaches us something or gives food for thought.
* And don't just point to X KB clubs please. There are 100s of websites listed there of all kinds of quality. There is no system to vouch for which ones have good content. Most of them don't even have actual content that we may want to read. I want to know which websites you yourself found to match these criteria and found interesting.
When I first started... it was just a blog for people to come and complain about their bosses, co-workers, jobs, life... and I would even interview them and write their stories for them, but has since evolved into much more than that... with unique content about jobs, careers, and the workplace, and everything in between. I was never short of any stories myself, having worked for tyrant bosses and supervisors... its probably how I was able to keep my jobs for so long... instead of having an outburst at work, I'd come home and turn it into a story and publish it on my website.
And as it turns out... too many people could relate to my stories which is what kept attracting more and more visitors to the site, which is receiving around 2 million visits a month or a few thousand unique visitors per day. Been running it for over a decade now. Every time I was about ready to give it up and quit... I'd get emails of people praising the website and sending me their articles and stories to add to it, and the emails have never stopped. And I am not complaining. It keeps me going! I created it to stay connected to my passion: organizational-industrial social pyschology or human psychology in the workplace.
