I hope she's hot. And you meet with her in person regularly. Because that's the only way she's worth it. I put about a million in an no-load minuscule fee S&P index fund in 2011 and it has returned about 110% since then with practically no fees at all. To me, that's way hotter than even the hottest investment adviser. @:-)

Some of the blogs and other media businesses thrive off getting attention over conflicts, engineered or otherwise. For example, on slow news days in the miles and points world, VFTW has a history of trying to do the OMNI PR thing to get some attention. And even sports channels have tried to play the game of stoking flames over one thing or another to grab attention that is meant to be monetized. "Moral" conflicts over the business of blogs generates the kind of attention that attention-seeking businesses want when the attention -- good or bad -- is effectively money.
