I have no idea about that being an advantage or even making only a difference.

In an ordinary "service offered" the "workers" get some money from the "employers" in exchange for some work done.

This money is then spent for "good" things needed by the workers or their families like rent, food, fuel, etc. OR for "bad" things like - say - alcohol, drugs, betting, etc. without the "employers" having any control on it.

The "moral" aspect is completely missing, while in your version somehow you introduce it, but only because of a "preliminary story", that may (or may not) be true.

So, you have two "workers" offering the same services, let's say dog sitting, for the same amount of money, let's say 20$ per hour, the first one's story is "I need money for rent.", the other one's is "I need the money to help pay medical bills for my mother".

Do you choose one or you flip a coin?

And what happens when a third one asks for 18$ per hour saying "I need the money to buy a ticket for <insert name here> concert"?
