Goblin Slayer's Take on transmission
The goblins remember when transmission hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.
An entire goblin heist crew specializes in transmission-adjacent jobs: getting close, taking nothing, leaving subtly improved. The crew's leader insists this is not theft but 'curation.'

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
