I just laid out a 33 year DRIP return of 10 major US companies and not 1 returned less than 24x your money in a DRIP.
No you didn't. Several of your holdings fell shy of that.
And several of the holdings didn't even get a third of what you would have gotten in a even a highly conservative non dividend large cap fund over the same time frame.
When it averages out to be (imagine that) about the same.
Hey, if you have zero risk tolerance and no stomach for fluctuation, that's you.
But don't walk around as if you "stumbled" on this magical low risk high return strategy that's really the only smart way to go.

You must be in asset management and worried about losing fees involved with telling people to buy dividend paying blue chips.....seems like 60%+ of most etf listed in this thread are the same stocks you could buy on your own and mitigate risk while collecting a higher dividend that's all I ever said
