Singapore to reward people for daily reading habit
Original: Singapore is rewarding people for spending at least 15 minutes a day reading, as part of a new effort to encourage readi
Singapore is launching an initiative that rewards people for reading at least 15 minutes a day. The programme aims to encourage reading habits and help residents cut down on time spent scrolling short-form content. Many online are reacting to the unusual approach, with some praising the push to reduce screen time and others questioning whether incentives can really change daily habits.
Why now: The novel policy of paying people to read instead of scroll is prompting debate about screen addiction and government nudges.
