Consider 2 scenarios:

A) I pay you $x per year not to listen to music on youtube.

B) I give you $x per year. Simoultaneously, Youtube starts charging $x per year to listen to music.

Is there much of a difference between them?

[kolbe]

Logically, no. But most of humanity would not treat them equivalently. I'm sure Tversky or Kahneman have done something on this topic.

Yes, lots of differences: - you can invest $10 for a month, get small profit and than start listening music - you can sign-up for Spotify for $7 a month and get $3 back.

How are these differences? You can do this in either case.
