Singapore library board pays readers to build reading habits
Original: Singapore’s National Library Board offers micropayments to build reading habits
Singapore's National Library Board is trialling a micropayment scheme that rewards people financially for reading, in an effort to encourage reading habits at a time when attention is dominated by phones. Early discussion centres on whether small cash incentives can genuinely change behaviour, with commenters debating whether paying for reading cheapens intrinsic motivation or is a pragmatic public-policy tool.
Why now: The unusual idea of paying people to read is sparking debate about motivation, screen time and public policy.
