When Paying for Blood BackfiresHow a good incentive can make a selfless act worse.
From the show
When Rewards BackfirePaying for blood donations was meant to increase supply, but it had the opposite effect.

It's a stark example of how money can corrupt a purely altruistic act, making things worse for everyone involved.
