Duolingo has hundreds of people translating the New York Times into several languages being paid nothing. (edit) What about people who spend hours answering questions on Stack Exchange?
American's spend several hours a day watching TV. What if the service gives people a distraction that they are mentally active in? There might be several advantages other than monitory performing these tasks over passively sitting in front of a TV.
- corysama 11y agoThere was a stat a few years back that if we could redirect 1% of e everyone's time spent watching TV we could have a new Wikipedia-scale project every 7 weeks. Zoning out has its place, but I bet more than a few percent of TV time is raw boredom rather than relaxation.
