MICE is a term used in the intelligence community for the factors that motivate people to provide intelligence to agents. It stands for:

Money
Ideology
Compromise
and Ego

Note that these aren't mutually exclusive, a combination of factors may be used to influence someone to provide information.

The problem is that many people believe that some celebrities and Internet personalities are motivated by money or are actively being paid or "handled" by Russia.

That is typically unlikely.

The truth is that some of these people may not even believe what they are saying, but taking a contrarian point of view gets you clicks. It gets you invited onto podcasts and it gets you invited back.

If you are running for President, or you are a disgraced journalist, or a former Army officer who is facing irrelevancy after a storied career, the temptation of relevance may be too enticing to pass up.
