The idea behind giving charity to those who are homeless is that of helping those who cannot easily help themselves. A great number of homeless people simply want jobs so they can support themselves, but due to their current positions (regardless of how they got there) they struggle to get even that.

Here, there is nothing stopping people from contributing to discussions and playing a greater part in the community, and therefore, there is nothing stopping anyone from earning CCP legitimately and honestly. CCP is meant to represent something, after all. If you join a sub where everyone just gives everyone else upvoats simply because they ask, the point of CCP (encouraging people to contribute) is lost.

In short, here we should all be capable of contributing, ie. helping ourselves, and so we should not ask others to help us without at least attempting to help ourselves by contributing to discussions.
