"We do it because there is demand"
That should not be a valid reason. Child pornography, slavery, drugs and harvested organs all have high demand.
I am sure these guys won't have any qualms about, say, defending and promoting taking homeopathic remedies instead of chemo for people with cancer. Or helping anti-vaxxers get children killed, if they decide to approach them and have deep enough pockets.
In addition to these "immediate" problems, there's also a long-term, perhaps nastier one.
As a species, what we know is what we are. Given enough time, every one of us is dead and gone, our physical and virtual wealth will dissipate. One of the few things which will perdure, and will always help our descendants, is knowledge.
Every bit of truth that we can collectively find is a hard-fought treasure for the future. Be it via scientific rigorousness or journalistic professionalism. Finding truth is one of the single most important things we can do for humanity, present and future.
What these people are doing to benefit themselves I see it as a crime against humanity as a whole.
