You work, in that case, but not for money. There might be a lot of work but a lot of that work might be not something anyone wants to pay for. Hell, things we do want, like nurses and teachers we already do not pay enough for, let alone all kinds of niche things. A lot of people who do not have to work still work, and while not many of that kind of worker pops up on HN, many millionaires I know do work in their or other communities, for no money; they also help out with their money. People who like to work, will work, people who want to live on holodecks will live on holodecks. And that is fine. Why would anyone care if we are post scarcity / full UBI?

I'd say you're more likely to find that kind of worker here than most other forums on the net.
