I notice this in politics. Some people vote for charitable political parties, while they themselves never give to charity.
This actually makes sense in politics, because a successful party can exercise charity on your behalf using tax money.
It's the "Swedish model" -- there private charity is rare, but public welfare and development aid is generally accepted and supported by voters.
It works as a stable multi player multi round prisoner's dilemma.
Basic strategy "always defect until everyone agrees not to while voting that everyone not defect."
