Worst of all, the full time bloggers try to blog more and more because it's their only source of income, diminishing quality of content and increasingly grasping at straws in order just to sound like the ultimate authority on everything miles and points, and of course drive affiliate revenue.
If there's one thing I hate more than self-serving bloggers, it's those to seek to tell the mainstream media. Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame, and some are willing to go as low as killing great deals just to help themselves.
+1 (again). Anyone who thinks the blogs are there to help us are disillusioned and likely beyond help. Again, some exceptions exist.

Just go to the Chicago Seminars. You will meet the newly minted bloggers, who previously had no posts, woke up one morning and decided that they were now an expert because they don't have a real job.
They have no original content, can't write, have nothing to say.
I have looked at most of their blogs exactly ONCE and rue the day . . . hoping they did not catch a buck just because I clicked on their link.
I don't pretend to be a great contributor to FT, but nor did I wake up today, start a blog and then hand out luggage tags or introduce myself as a kiddie expert at the seminars.
