Counterpoint: receiving UBI would not be any more of a "not useful" mark than simply being unemployed.

Technically, we all are receiving a UBI of $0 right now. The idea is just to increase that amount to cover rent and food.

If everyone's getting it, there is no stigma.

(Same disclaimer on random philosophical thoughts and no real answers)

Not really talking about stigma here since, as you correctly pointed out, UBI assumes everyone gets it. It is more of an existential question for the person themselves - "what is exactly is my purpose"?
