I think, in principle, it is a good thing for someone to act in a consumer advocate role outside of regulatory agencies, to keep “us” on our toes and encourage regulators to tackle issues when needed.

I regret the tactics that some consumer advocates feel a need to take to gain attention and maintain perceived relevance.
