I have mixed feelings about this. Earning should come from struggle. Cleaning your home is a privilege and it is a way to cultivate care in your environment.
Like wiping your ass, cleaning house should be regarded as self care.
Our kids are expected to do basic chores as part of living in a functional household
Our kids get allowance, to enable learning about money, no matter if they do their chores or not
We also will give them extra money if they do extra tasks beyond the usual

Indeed, I guess the difference here is that you train your kids out of love, but it might end up different things when someone else controls the "behavior training", like what the "program designers" get from it?

I've gone through bum periods and I was miserable. The best way to gain a power perspective is to take care of simple things, gain momentum and tackle harder ones. Like Jordan Peterson telling young men to make their beds.
Or my wife says, "I make a wish that my teeth are clean. I brush my teeth and my wish comes true."

not sure, but I don't want to go to any "crowded parks" at any "specific time" or be trained to do something ( bad ) in the name of being incentivized. 👀 so I guess it depends on what we are talking, and the only sustainable incentivizes comes from inside.
And what if someone takes advantage of those incentivizes? And there is no free lunch in this world - how do these programs make money?

fair enough, it could turn into a pokémon go situation if everyone was chasing after the same sats in a particular location.

good question, i’m not sure. if you were running such a business, how would you try and make money with it?

Unfortunately those parties sub out the work so the data miners are the same businesses and they exchange data with each other. This goes back to Nielsen families.
I don't have the exact details but somewhere the model is there.
On No Agenda this subject is covered in the media deconstruction.
