Is that really the label you give yourself? You make thought-provoking entertainment. You serve as a foil. You write nerdy jargon-filled things for the very online crowd. You advocate for premium mediocrity. Only some people need to expense that as "management consulting".

My low opinion is based on personal experience of being the guy whose job is to rectify and somehow follow multiple contradictory opinions from external consultants. And be fully responsible for the result despite having limited decisionmaking. This is consultants in general.
