yes, and maybe? I think it's important to hold the tension that you are doing something that is both good and harmful (like both building a really nice chat app you give away for free and using the network effects of that app to collect everyone's data and influence them, or protecting people from fraud but also improving the bottom line of Wall Street banks that are contributing to the increasing financialization of everything).

I think acknowledging incentive structures is alright, but ending the process there and not leaning into understanding and manipulating them is the real issue.
