I think the secret to finding content is

1.) being passionate about something.

2.) finding content about that something you're passionate about.

then

3.) being passionate about the content about that something to share it.

The great thing about the internet is also its curse - It is incredibly, incredibly vast. "rule 34" comes to mind:

    If you can think of it, there is porn of it on the internet

what is true of pornography is also true of the rest of content. If you're interested in something, there is a greater than zero chance that there is not only some other dude, but probably a group of other people who are also really interested in it too - the challenge is to find them.

The secret to finding good content is the secret to a lot of things in life: being active, engaged, and passionate about something.
