It's interesting comparing these against the archetypes in TV Tropes, the language seems to focus on motivations of characters rather than the environment and context.
I go on Quora. I don't really like their digest emails or any of their recent monetization efforts but it's still unparalleled in free high quality writing, especially if you follow the right people.
