    That’s a bit different though. UBI means people can survive without working, but working will still drastically increase their quality of living.

    And sure, you may still work if you had no benefit from it, but would you put in as much time as people do now? And how many other people would?

    Recognition isn’t as important as you make it sound. And most people will hardly start to work out of boredom. There’s plenty of ways to spend your time that are not productive.

    In addition, there are plenty of jobs literally nobody wants to do, and consequently, nobody would do under your proposed system.

    The difference is that in capitalism, you are compensated for your labour in a different way, with wages. That is sufficient motivation to be productive. It does not make a difference in that regard who owns the final product.
