Worth contrasting, true. One way might be more signal-boosting for high-cost helping. Another, criticism for low-cost. I'm not sure how to differentiate the criticism strategy from the other folks who genuinely think neither type of helping is valuable.

I think criticism of low cost activities masquerading as substantial ones is needed quite broadly, to create an anti-signaling culture. I'm sure I am blind to the many logs in my own eye, but hopefully others will point those out.
