If you're asking for help, it means that you're asking for a favor. If someone helps you, you owe them. I don't intend to rack up a huge cumulative debt, so instead I'm offering a service that simply has a side-benefit instead! This way the action is framed as a give-and-take, rather than just a "give". After all, like-minded people would probably reply, "yeah? What do I get out of it, if I help you?"
Or maybe it's people like you who want to be indebted to others! Do you like knowing that people will keep coming back after you when they feel like collecting? Does it give you a sense of purpose, or fulfill a need for attention?

[Who is "we"????]
