When I was a kid, I knew that if A hates B, he'll maltreat him. What I didn't realize till I was an adult was that if A maltreats B, he'll start to hate him. He has to to justify the maltreatment. (Psychologists call this "cognitive dissonance," but it was known long before.)
It works in the other direction too. If you do someone a favor, you'll start to like them. I feel certain there are as-yet undiscovered ways to harness this quirk of human nature for good.
And if you give me money, I become rich... (worth a shot?)

The Ben Franklin effect is how to get people to like you by doing you a favor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Franklin_effect … 'Having heard that he had in his library a certain very scarce and curious book, I wrote a note to him, expressing my desire of perusing that book...'

It is a classic trope in con movies that you get the mark to do you a favor (pass you the nuts at the bar) in order to make them more susceptible.

Pay-It-Forward Chain, anyone? Proof of generosity?
