>>113243041The contrivance of Aliens needing our resources makes it accessible, and we've fought a large percentage of our wars over resources.
The fact that Earth really contains almost nothing in the way of actual resources compared to the rest of the universe, and is only special because of the mold growing on it (life), is besides the point.
Non mold eating lifeforms have no reason to bother with us, unless they want some fresh new shows or music or something. Energy, Water, Hydrocarbons, the rest of the solar system is filthy with it.
