They get a fixed salary; once they earn more than that in pageviews they get the difference on top of it. Given that Valleywag has gotten more popular recently, it's not entirely unreasonable (though their fixed salaries are not very high, IIRC). The Valleywag thing is more of a bonus cut.

Many self-publishing houses are "Vanity Publishers" because they charge the author a fee for publishing a book and the author covers part or all of the production costs... but money is what the publisher should be giving the author, not the other way round! That said... it is rumoured that the occassional better known writers started this way! 'Caution' is the key word if going this route... read the fine print. Rejection is all part of the publishing process... A book can be rejected for years then one day accepted!
