    They truly are easy to grift lol. Tempting to jump onboard this gravy-train of cash, too, if not for the fact that it ultimately contributes to fucking society over even more

      You are removing economic power from those who would use it to hurt others.

      How would this be fucking over society? In fact it sounds like the opposite

        You’ll invariably catch vulnerable people that can’t afford it but succumb. Just because they would likely fall for some other grift doesn’t make your unethical behavior less unethical.

        To dupe them usually requires preying on their fear or anger.

        You push them to the edge too far they’ll do something stupid. To their kids, to others etc. The pressure must relieve from somewhere. I don’t want to be responsible for that. Look at anti-vaxx rhetoric. Look at my pillow guy etc.
