Tim Worstall
Let me begin by saying I like Tim Worstall's blog. I disagree with his views on most issues, I think he is far too quick to draw conclusions from limited data, I think he's slightly boring in that his libertarianism collapses too easily into Toryism (e.g. the idea that the government should create a nationalised company to advertise its jobs rather than use the private sector), and I think occasionally he just gets things wrong (and doesn't often enough own up to it). But I respect the sheer amount of posts he makes, and he often raises interesting issues and points.In many ways, then, I was disappointed to learn that his huge efforts in gaining revenue for his blog through advertising, and paid links, and paid posts, etc, gained him just £2,000 a year. That's just £9 per working day, which must make his hourly rate dire.
Also, we now have this:
This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content.
