Counterpoint: some of the best reporting on the nuts and bolts of the subprime mortgage mess, while it was happening, was by a semi-retired mortgage broker pseudonymously blogging as "Tanta", who never got paid a dime for it. When she died, she was mourned by everyone from Tyler Cowen to Paul Krugman. The pseudonym was because, if her cancer ever went into remission, she wanted to be able to get a job, and she thought it might be a handicap to have (quite rightly) savaged just about every major company in the industry. The announcement of her death was the first most of her readers had ever seen her name --- Doris Dungey. EDIT: Counterpoint to Lanier, that is. Sorry 'bout that.
