One weird thing I've become increasingly skeptical of is promoting/advocating for classes of things rather than specific examples. For example, "blockchains", "sharing economy", and even increasingly on the fence about "public goods".

its usually a sign of romantic attachment to a philosophy which leads to cases of "solutions in search for problems"

right, I think that's a great way to categorize the "genuine" engagement (the "malicious" version is a good "umbrella" for grifters)
