panderers
They enable exploitation
Panderers are people who cater to others' baser desires or weaknesses, especially for profit or advantage.
The word originally meant procurers—those who arrange sexual encounters for others—but now more often describes anyone who exploits low tastes: panderers to public prejudice, panderers selling outrage as entertainment.
A panderer tells people what they want to hear rather than what they need to know.
