I don't necessarily have an issue with it, however I'd only buy a dividend ETF as a small part of a portfolio with individual dividend stocks.

The problem is you'll own stocks, indirectly, you might not otherwise. I don't want to own some of the companies in a broad index. And it makes it tougher to get the yield you desire.

This said, it's never a bad approach. It's better than nothing at all OR making poor individual stock selections.

I appreciate the response. Thanks for reading my article.
