I run a similar business to Techmeme, just in a different medium, and Gabe's consistency and calm approach has been an influence in showing not everything has to grow huge or turn into 100+ employees. Being consistent and providing value over decades pays dividends of its own and can give you a good income.

The only thing that irritates me about the site is the wall of citations under every item on the desktop version, but I suspect that is key to its ongoing success since quite often I see people boasting about their appearance there and it's a form of social proof. However, if you want to skip that, the "river" view is perfect: https://www.techmeme.com/river
