The thing I don't really see accounted for in these experiments is that UBI is not really "universal". It's a group, or a town who or are not isolated from the outside economy, and the participants are usually aware/suspect that this bonus income probably won't last forever, so they know they need to keep working to maintain their careers etc.

I'm not sure there's any way to account for it unfortunately, it is such a compelling idea though I think we kind of all want it to be real.
