If you think you can last 24 hours without scrolling through Instagram, then this digital detox challenge is for you. Reviews.org will pay you $2,400 should you be able to survive a whole day without any screens.
"If you've got the desire to ditch your devices for a day but still need to get paid, this is the perfect opportunity for you," Reviews.org wrote on its description of the 24-hour digital detox challenge. "If that seems too easy, you’re probably not the one who needs the detox, so you should refer your phone-addicted friends and family instead."
Reviews.org is looking for a candidate who feels "burnt out from doomscrolling" and like they "know a little too much about your old acquaintances from social media." Ultimately, the perfect challenger will be "into tech" but is willing to "challenge themselves" to go a full day without screens.
To be considered for this challenge, you must be willing to completely disconnect from technology. This means:
- No cell phone
- No television
- No gaming consoles/handheld gaming devices
- No computers/laptops
- No smartwatches or wearable tech
- No smart home devices (smart speakers, smart vacuums, etc.)
Should you decide to apply to participate in this challenge, the person selected will receive the official title of “2021 Digital Detox Challenger” in the US, a day without doomscrolling, bad internet memes, or zoom fatigue, a safe to store your tech in for 24 hours and a $200 Amazon gift card to put together a tech-less survival kit. You'll als receive the $2,400 payment, of course.
Applications are open now until 5:00 pm on March 26, 2021. You can apply here.
