When you open the newspapers, what do you read? All the bad news. It is said that psychologically one feels better to know there are other people worse off than us. (It is a bit sad but because we are in a rat race, anything that makes us better off, makes us a tad happier. Bad news are good for newspapers)
Whether you like it or not: Selling bad stuff works. Not just for the newspapers. Selling bad stuff about things around you lends some relevance to what you are saying. It may help to make you stand out as being observant or caring. Pointing out bad stuff to help prevent people from falling into the same black hole may indeed make you stand out. Pointing out bad stuff may put you in a negative light. So, end it with the intention to help the other person and make it explicitly clear.
