Singapore pays readers micropayments to build reading habits

Original: Singapore’s National Library Board offers micropayments to build reading habits

Singapore's National Library Board has launched a scheme offering micropayments to encourage people to read more and spend less time on their phones. The idea of paying citizens small amounts to pick up books has drawn attention online, with commenters debating whether financial incentives are an effective or appropriate way to build lasting reading habits.

Why now: The unusual approach of literally paying people to read has sparked debate about incentives, screen time and public policy.
