      This.

      I usually don’t watch YouTube celebrities, but recently I watch the Vaush guy state what I’ve known for a while in my 53 years on the planet:

      Some people truly can’t understand why anyone would do anything without some kind of compensation. They think it’s stupid, and anyone who does anything without expecting something in return is stupid, and deserves to be taken advantage of. And they don’t feel bad about it. It’s the “Natural Order.” Winners win, and losers lose. Any instance of “Altruism” is just “Virtue Signaling,” done for attention and to influence others to their advantage.

      Everything is transactional, and everyone who is not useful is expendable. To them, “empathy” truly is weakness.
