Maybe he is praised because he is a good and thoughtful finance writer. And if there’s any financial news site which would have an incentive to avoid clickbait it would be Bloomberg because it’s subsidized by the rents it extracts from its terminal and data business, and this is one service they provide to those customers so they have an incentive to provide value.

Could be. But there are a lot of good and thoughtful finance writers. I don't see their articles spammed here on the weekly like clockwork along with the fawning worship. It's almost like the article is just posted to talk about how great levine is and not the actual article. Just seems odd to me that's all.

You responded to the only phrase of my original comment that had to do with Levine the person. If this is your concern, perhaps you could have chosen to substantively engage with the article?
