Bro, that’s free dopamine and I’ll take it. I recall someone stopping me and asking for help with changing a flat because they didn’t have a lug wrench. I didn’t have the time to stop and help but I told them they were in luck because I just so happen to have a universal lug wrench in the trunk and they could have it, they wanted to pay for it and my broke college student ass could use it but there is more dopamine in giving then selling haha.
I’ve taken to telling them that someone else helped me out, and I’m just trying to pay it forward, with interest. If they can pay it forward in future, I would be very happy with them continuing the chain.
You still get the dopamine of a good deed, they feel like they can pay you back by passing it on. If they don’t, no harm done. If they do, your good deed just got amplified to some other poor sod’s benefit. It might even loop back!
