I don’t think AYRT is jaded trash either. I also think they have a point, and that the best good deeds are done when people aren’t looking, and the person doing them doesn’t benefit in any way other than the nice feeling you get from doing good things. You might say that’s still that “dopamine rush”, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with feeling good for doing good. Especially as long as you’re not doing it for praise. But honestly, saying there’s “no altruism” in that isn’t quite correct either. Even people who are doing it in front of a camera might also want to do it for good reasons too, as much as they may want to do it for self-centered reasons. The camera might cheapen it, but it doesn’t erase the good deed in and of itself. Good deeds for dubious reasons are still good deeds. Someone giving to charity out of a feeling of narcissism is still giving to charity. The charity doesn’t care why someone is giving to them. The personal nature of giving to homeless people in front of a camera might make that a different story, but not entirely. The homeless person may feel patronized or used for clout, and they might tell the person where they can stick it. But they may just be happy to be given something to help them regardless of the reasons why. This isn’t a black and white situation.

Also, nothing like this has been “scientifically proven”, you’re just pulling that out of nowhere. You may as well have given some made up statistics to go with it. I’m sure some people have put forth scientifically based theories as to the subject. But none of what you said has been proven. That’s not really how that works.
