When i think of the target of sarcasm, I can’t think of a time when they were happier or felt better about themselves after the sarcasm.

I don’t think the intention of sarcasm is to elevate the target. At least, it’s not when I’m using it. It’s more of a way to either poke fun without being directly confrontational or a way to highlight the absurdity of an argument.
I think if the intention is to make someone happy, sarcasm is probably not the best tool.
