Both of these are dangerous.
If we shame others for compromising then they're never going to ask for help. They're going to associate the people pushing back against the culture of scamming as being insufferable jerks.
If we proudly declare we always use the defaults and accept all, then that sends a strong signal that our culture of constant scamming is acceptable. It works even more to ostracise those who may push back against it.
