Ask HN: Anyone making passive (or not passive) income from a content site?

Question was asked earlier, but did not get many replies.

There are many posts here about people making money off side projects or businesses they manage on their own, but it seems like almost all of them are selling a product or a service. I'm wondering if anyone is making substantial money from a site that just generates content (and isn't selling a service/product) ? (Looking for examples of people doing this on their own, not big companies running news/content sites)
