Aligned Interests

If they make more money if you are upset.

If they make more money if you act against your self-interest.

If they make more money if you don’t solve your problem.

If they win if they get your attention regardless of the cost.

If they gain traction because of your outrage.

If they get power when you give it up.

Be careful

Be wary

Be skeptical

Your interests are not aligned. They aren’t for you. And whatever they are selling costs more than the listed price.
