I think it can be cheaper to initiate these types of attacks than to defend against them. Just pissing someone off with an extra $20 to spend can give you a bad day

Offense in cheaper than defense even in non internet related situations, hence societies with high levels of trust between its members are able to advance more quickly due to not needing to waste so many resources on defense.

  • Low trust societies have their advantages. They are less likely to develop into dictatorships because factions don't trusts other factions enough to give them too much power.
