There's almost always some ultimate financial motive behind even those
things that are "disinformation".  Find that underlying motive and snip
it off and the incentives go away.  The underlying financial motive can
be difficult to discern in some cases.
 
But compared to the spammers with clear financial motives (either
direct sales or by scams) the percentage that are 'disinformation' is
relatively small vs.  the huge pile of clearly sales/scam spamming
occurring.  So it would be helpful overall if those had their oxygen
cut off, because that leaves only the smaller set of kooks with their
disinformation to actively ignore.

But there are also political types and governments pushing their own
agendas. (Propaganda).
