I’m very open to arguments like that. I make a lot of choices for reasons like that. The difference is that there are real benefits that do accrue to someone/something: for example buying organic or humane certified products or a lot of matters of etiquette. There are some direct benefits to me, but it’s mostly about not poisoning places I don’t live in and not harming creatures that I don’t know. 

I’m not sympathetic to it here because the action is demonstrably unimpactful, which means there are better uses for my time.

would you be persuadable by a comment like "be the kind of person that would make the world a better place if there were more of them"?

so, not an appeal to personal benefits, but some kind of appeal to social or moral duty
