I'll bite: such users are more likely to want to run an Orchid relay or exit node, with default settings, than actually use Orchid to access the Internet (source node).

Internet users who may be less technical and may not care about surveillance or Internet freedom would still be interested when they hear "hey if you install this app you get a few $ (worth of tokens) per month just for sharing your bandwidth"

Ok, so we have two groups of people who could do it

People who are concerned about surveillance or internet freedom. The latter includes people who are in a country that is censoring the internet.

People who want to earn a little money.

That's good. The more different types of people who are motivated to adopt something, the more widely it will be adopted.
