People getting attention and praise for altruism and deeds might not be morally that great, and downright selfish a lot of the time, but if it ends up with more people helped then the end result is a net good.
Problem being, the guys who do it that way often are not fully on the level about it and seem to be addicted to also never following through on that altruism beyond the surface level. Which ends with it having none of that balancing act.
Its like raising children. The attention and praise must be doled out to get many people to actually do something, but if you do it too easy or often then it ends with them only emulating the trappings of the good deed.
I dunno. Something about filming your good deeds. I get that it raises more revenue to perform more good deeds, but......l dunno. Something about it.
Its a question of morality versus pragmatism.

Trappings of a good deed? Hey, I'd recognise that leftism anywhere.
Is it a popular phrase elsewhere? Because I wasn't referencing anything myself.
