Not everyone has a financial incentive when spreading fear. Look at social media. There are a ton of people spreading fear on X about, say the economy, and many dont have any financial incentive at all.

Yes, but fear-mongering helps in grabbing attention some how always has. With attention comes money-making opportunities automatically.
Certainly we, as humans, appear to be drawn more to the negative than positive. It is why the news is filled with negativity. It captures attention from the masses. So yes it is a tool because people buy into it.
Yes I feel that you are right on the money with this analogy thanks for clearing it up for me.
I think that is why those who can separate themselves from that natural tendency can go counter to society and achieve success.
You are right on the money there as I feel very few people are successful and like you said they are successful because they work on progress (positivity) rather than going into the rabbit hole of negativity.
