ah ok understand your point now, well said and a good point in that.

I think their platform alone has influence, think of how many "punters" come here looking for some intel and giving their thoughts on any particular stock or even creating a post as I have done here.
That platform is key to delivering messages, regarding conflict of interest this is a bit grey to me as I assume that their are companies that "pay for a service" and I can see this however this is not to unlike typical media platforms.
I would expect TMH to push the stories that pay them a fee and believe it fits the TMH ethos as a information platform, much like social media influencers.
As their "new media" gets more traction I can see the cost of "paid marketing" to increase and hence deliver a stronger yield for the business.
