Alright, now I have to make some gross guesses which will horrify professional statisticians...
85
86
1) A quick & dirty sampling through some above articles hints at "Tylers" posting some 80% directly (not a direct copy of a Jim Quinn story, say)
87
2) I am going to guess that it takes each Tyler 1 hour (all inclusive, research, editing, etc.), on average, to prepare an article
88
3) Rumor has it there are some 40 Tylers
89
4) Zero Hedge also has support people (computer guys, ad guys, accountants, lawyers etc.), I have NONE, so add, say 30% longer time per article to account for support people at ZH
90
5) Only ZH has this info, so I must make another gross guess as to "reader time" per visit to all of ZH each day, *let's say* 30 minutes...
91
6) Only ZH has this as well, so I must *guess* again, "let's say" the average visitor reads 3 articles in his 30 minutes per visit...

93
Content Production Time Zero Hedge, last five pages
94
72 articles * (1 hour @ * (1.30)) = 94 total hours to prepare those 5 pages of articles
95
96
Gross Estimate of Readers' Time (Consumption) at ZH, last five pages
97
(1,172,900 Views / 3 articles per viewer per visit) * (0.5 hours per visit) = 195,480 hours
98
99
Consumption / Content Ratio: 2079:1
100
Consumption / Content Ratio per Tyler: 52 hours read (consumption) per hour written (production)
