Can a contribution be something bad?

Yes, a contribution can be something negative if it leads to harmful outcomes or consequences. For example, a person's actions or decisions that promote misinformation, discrimination, or environmental degradation can be considered detrimental contributions. Additionally, negative contributions can also arise in social dynamics, such as fostering conflict or division within a community. Ultimately, the impact of a contribution is what determines whether it is seen as positive or negative.
