A company will pay you $2,400 to stay away from screens for 24 hours

Doom-scrolling getting you down?

Put the phone away for an hour. Or, better yet, make it 24 hours -- you might just get $2,400 out of it.
Reviews.org, a company that tests home services and products, is holding a 24-hour digital detox challenge. They'll pay their chosen challengers over two grand to survive a whole day without screens.

Instead, the company should invest that money in technology that controls all of the dimwits of today who cross streets against light indication, and bump into people on sidewalks and in stores, because they have their noses stuck so far into their own little small-minded dream worlds of their cellphones and person electronic devices, they can't think for themselves anymore.

Of all the applicants, only one will be chosen to take the challenge for the prize money.

I think the operative word in this company's ad is "chosen". If you are the one "chosen," they will pay $2,400. Why do I get the idea the only "chosen" one is the guy, who thought up a way to get a lot of free promotion, by claiming to give money away.

I've gone for weeks while out camping, a day at home would be a cake walk.
