Any broker recommendations?

Don't get me wrong, it's been a really fun thing to run. Rather than dedicate my life to something that started, more or less, by accident, I leveraged the opportunity to follow my actual CS passions which are quite a ways away from web dev.
At this point and age I'm more disconnected from the genre but it still demands my energy.

I have a small set of user generated content sites (all PG, no NSFW junk) that I have run for the last eight years. Net income ranges between $30,000 and $45,000 monthly. 100% ad supported, buyer beware. Overhead (servers, cdn, et al) < $1000/month.
I'm currently a software engineer working for another company while keeping this network alive in my spare time. It could definitely be monetized and run better with 100% attention, but after eight years I just don't have the energy for all the needless pop culture and memeology that needs to flow.
I'm a one man team, and have automated a lot of the flow, but it started as a hobby project and would benefit from some attention to update the code bases.
If you're heavy in the meme scene feel free to ping me at [email protected]. The money will be good for a while longer and if you have the energy for it, you could extend it into perpetuity.
