It’s bad because people are selfish. Unless it’s a really low amount, if it’s an amount enough to live, then some people won’t work. That might include me. I’m a rat.
I also think that it’ll probably be a lower amount of moochers than you expect; they’ll want to work, but it’ll be doing things that our current society doesn’t recognize as work, or work of value.
It’ll be things like philosophy, art, poetry, tinkering, etc, which actually make life better for people but are difficult to turn into a profitable business.

Who will do the useful work then? Like making food, repairing machines, doing office stuff?
People who who either like it, or who want to earn more than the UBI.
