If you're an unemployed troll with a lot of nym-shifting experience you
could probably make $6.50 an hour writing reviews for Belkin. Even an
out-of-work database guru could probably whip out enough reviews to
make $7 an hour. Even a "kernel hacker" and "true linux advocate" could
make better than minimum wage.
Unfortunately for people who find themselves in those situations, it's
not going to be sustainable. About 3 reviews apiece on each site and
the plug would be pulled.
