And even this is a win-win for the second-tier bloggers, because Randy's advertising (for US eyeballs) pays far more than AdSense, even after his 50% cut.
Seriously, I think some of the blogs on there must get little to no readership (since they consistently post absolutely NO useful information but are instead, just rants on weather or some program changes, which are covered WAY better by the better bloggers). Why doesn't BA drop them and declutter?
