And if your answer is yes, how do you know that's an actual objective fact and you're not just suffering from an excess of cynicism?

This could run and run.

Nope, it's a product of people being more aware of things.

Cynicism is good imo. Treat everything with complete suspicion unless it can be shown to be otherwise and you have a healthier society.

I'm sceptical whether that is cynicism.

I know, but there is a fine line between the two.

But isn't cynicism where you can't believe that anything could be other than suspicious?

Not quite, I think it is the view of human nature which sees all actions as purely motivated by self-interest.
