I feel like the Timeless Decision Theory arguments are pretty straightforward here. Past people are more likely to have been taking my preferences into account, if they expected me to honor their preferences. Seems like there is lots of opportunity for trade here, and I sure am likely to make different decisions if I expect future generations to have an outlook like the one you describe.
I am not sure what the magnitude of this effect on my decisions should be, but I feel like it seems very unlikely for the outcome of this to be “nothing”.

″...to honor their preferences”?
Yes, the TDT aspect is clear, but it seems to me easy for informal talk of TDT to slip into reference class tennis.
Oops, sorry. Typo fixed.
