I know a lot of people who take a seriously negative view against whistleblowers, which I find very strange. Do you not want to know the messed up shit that the companies and government are doing? I think people just see it as being a traitor.

So they have to balance preferring to know about the wrongdoing of others (in the opinion of the whistleblower) vs having their own secrets revealed by someone close to them with a similar mindset, who may view their activities as wrong.
