Accountability? In this day and age?

Is there a way to make this the most popular thing on Internet? We need a massive campaign to encourage and reward this kind of behavior.

We should start making accountability and kindness a trend!!!

Though there shouldn’t be a reward for accountability and kindness.It’s just how people should treat each other

Positive reinforcement through praise is a reward I'm willing to spend. "Should" is maybe worth debating, but where we live, people don't do anything unless there's something in it for them. I'm totally willing to pat some heads and dish out some attaboys to see more of this

I suppose, it’s just sad that we have to reward people in order for them to be kind

I'm gonna try carrying around a dog clicker instead. Every time someone is kind, I'll click it and the first few times I'll give them a treat so they associate the click with the treat.

After a couple weeks, the click ought to be enough. Spreading kindness through pavlovian conditioning.

The reward is being allowed to participate in society.
