Introduction
Whether it is reporting a pothole on the road, answering a question on a forum, donating blood, open sourcing a piece of software etc. ... they are all contributions that should be rewarded.
Massive connectivity of the Internet means there are a lot of opportunity to help each other.
Apple Airtags
With the dominance of Apple and Google, you can be "forced" to help others even if you are no really 100% willing . . .
How much have you received from Apple for helping OTHERS locate AirTags even if you do NOT own one ?
If you go to Settings and turn off Find My network so you do not use your hardware, battery, bandwidth and your LOCATION to find stranger's AirTags, guess what ? You also cannot find your OWN phone when it is lost and offline! This all or nothing "option" is not really an option!
On top of that AirTags can be hacked so safe guards can be bypassed. But that is another story outside of rewards . . .
