> As for "A LOT of the useful information" - nope, can't think of a single case where ad/affiliate-supported site was a good information source, vs. just displacing a better free source.

Solid introduction and primer for the Annapurna Circuit, full of useful information from people who did it which has been kept up to date.

Now please tell me in what way is this not an example of an ad/affiliate supported site that provides a lot of useful information and what non ad/affiliate based resource has it displaced that was better? Cause I'm doubting someone would write up a better guide than that, publish it and not monetise it.
