I don't know how relevant this is now, but here's a link to another post where I expressed my thoughts on what kind of pitfalls you might most likely face -- https://lemmy.world/post/36867409

By the way, what is this phenomenon on Lemmy? Let's say people are reluctant to read and comment on old posts published just a couple of days or a week ago, but with new ones, it's a completely different story. What kind of psychology is this? Or it seemed to me?

No, but when drug abuse is not a problem in the first place, UBI should not make it a thing. Use your common sense. I'm talking about places where you see entire sidewalks stretching miles long with drug addicts. Do you honestly believe giving them money will make them go "oh, drugs bad, maybe I should work".. wat indeed.
