the branding of "hey have your minute by minute activity mined" is weak on alot of different levels

but that's not so different from alot of real world activity, showing face time at work, being 5 minutes early for meetings, that sort of thing

those sorts of little things go into your real world reputation, ie do you feel good about recommending someone for a job that's always 5 minutes late? (superficial as that may be)

part of that is why personal recommendations carry the weight they do

if taking classes with minute by minute monitoring were shown to correlated with better chances a monetary reward at the end (x% gets a job, x+y% gets a job with monitoring), that'd change the calculus for alot of people

admittedly, the branding for that is pretty weak
