That depends on how critical you are. Our current incentive structure is out of control across the board and everything is skewing towards maximizing ROI in about every aspect of life money is involved in. I apply this perspective to everything I see ("how are they getting money from this?") then work backwards and it seems to lead to accurate predictions, at least anecdotally. Perhaps I'm just jaded and cynical but it works well, unfortunately. |

It works well for me too.
I've learned to extend the "how are they getting money from this?" question into a generalized, first-principles thinking - look at the incentive structures and think about what they imply, about what's the expected behavior of a system running under those incentives. Because while not everything is about the money, systems will evolve over time along the lines of the incentives contained in them.
