Most human beings when offered something for free by doing something simple will happily accept the opportunity to do so
The main concern with all of this is why Microsoft offers points for simple tasks of clicking/tapping/typing only for a user to earn and acquire the points reward, to then have Microsoft and their 'automated system' treat us as if we're all doing something wrong and deceitful.
If Microsoft's aim is to depress people with feelings of being cheated, disillusioned, disheartened, and worthless then they are without doubt achieving their goal.
I for one am tired of being made to feel like a lab-rat in a maze full of vanishing cheese.
Perhaps this reward system has unfortunately now become a synonym for Microsoft's true ethics and their disregard for the well-being of their users ('user' also being a common term for an addict - seeing as how they have managed to get most people hooked!)
