Once people have paid $1, that's immediately a sunk cost, and from then people have no reason (aside from morals, which are absent in some people) not to shit on the toilet seat and walk out. But it still may be an alright solution (when combined with regular cleaners), even if it isn't a perfect one.

- hackerlight 4y agoThat's how it's funded. The incentives to not leave a mess remain unchanged. All you've done is filter out some % of people who would have otherwise left a mess, as well as some % of people who wouldn't have. I mean, maybe paying for it makes people be more careful because of some psychological reasons... possibly.
