I disagree. The continual chase of money over everything - ethics, morals, decency included - is why we can't have nice things.
It's one thing for someone to run a technical operation to provide people who can't with a service while providing a small number of other people with a living.
It's something else entirely for someone without ethics, morals or decency to realise that there are catastrophically large holes in a bunch of internet protocols that can be abused to make extremely large sums of cash, whether very very quickly or over a much longer period.
The trust model that the Internet was built on was wrecked the moment serious money was available to people, legitimately or otherwise.
Apologies if that all sounds a bit conspiratorial but so far as I'm aware that's the sad reality we live in!
