No, he’s not. He’s threatened to dox people who leave bad reviews on his books; he should not be promoted or praised. It’s purely an ego thing.

It saddens me to see his links posted to aggregators. Most people only know his carefully cultivated image.

According to the WSJ article, he makes his living from advertising on his website. That's perfectly legitimate, but whether he did it or not, he has every incentive to embellish things.
