With every aspect of life turning into a moneymaking machine, aren’t we killing ourselves? By being able to make a few coins with anything at anytime, when you don’t, you feel you are missing out on money. I’m not shitting on money, you need some. But you also need to unplug whether it’s walking, being with friends or playing games for the good of your mind. And in a world now where you can make money doing anything then aren’t you doing nothing but making money?

Zap me for my thoughts
The idea unfortunately comes from side hustles as it is getting increasingly harder for people to get jobs for a load of different reasons, so why not make money by doing what you would do anyway? Like walking get smiles or sweatcoin, play games ZBD, watch a ton of YouTube get slice
For sure, work and income safety isn’t what it was 20 even 10 years ago. And obviously motivating people to walk is commendable. But, with things progressing the way they are everything will be monetized. Call me naive, I think it means that it will increasingly become harder to trust people’s intentions if anything can be turned into money. Kinda like people giving out money to homeless person and video tapping it.
So here's another thing with that, in 2013 (10 years ago) the minimum wage for anyone over the age of 23 was £6.31 per hour before taxes, now it's £9.50 that's an increase of 50.79% value of the GBP has gone up by 46.63% since 2013 meaning the buying power is lower, but also fuel prices have sky rocketed so it's just adding extra income
I just sent you more money my apologies. I’ll stop zapping you
