The only reason that matters here is bad actors.

What kind of lack of compassion do you have to have to participate in an organisation that generates something universally hated.

There's some kind of mental disconnect involved.

I once knew a guy who ran a spam operation from Chicago. I was in his office once and he showed me something on his computer. In doing so I could see that his mail in-box had over 29,000 unread messages.

I asked him how he deals with all those spam messages. He didn't think it was a big deal at all. Spam simply didn't bother him, and he believed in his heart that spam doesn't really bother anyone else, either.

This idea is summarized in a famous quote:

>"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
