    Of course there is incentive for online virtue signaling - all the likes and shares and attention.

      It seems to me positive attention comes out of compassion as well, unless it only counts when there’s no extrinsic motivation for it.

      There is quite a lot of compassionate-seeming exchanges you can find on here, right?

        Absolutely, and I’m happy to hear you see it that way too. Online platforms don’t really incentivize that though. That’s just my lukewarm take on that
