I see what you're you're saying, but it's not like UBI is going to eliminate these bullshit jobs.

Yes it wouldn’t eliminate them. The processes that create them would have to be changed or reformed in some way. The bullshit jobs/UBI argument is more about filling in if/when these jobs are eliminated, that be via automation or process reformation.
