Here's a thought experiment I've been been wrestling with... Imagine a dirty low skill job. Something that currently doesn't pay much and is generally considered low status. Assume it's a job no one really wants to do but do because it pays them a living. What would happen to that job under UBI? I would assume that due to vacancies demand for people willing to do this work would go up, and companies would need to lure in applicants by raising pay. Imagine that would indeed attract workers. How would this affect that company? It's costs would rise. Will it become less competitive? Will it raise price? Would the sector have to be subsidized to stay afloat? Would it start some kind of 'moral revolution'? I imagine new coping mechanisms would need to be devised and the economy would morph into something quite unlike what we live under today.
