The market and production gaming UBI will inevitably happen. It's just people's money.
Actually, in Alaska's UBI program, alcohol and drug abuse go up by 15% after all check day (but crime also goes down significantly as well).
So yes, the payouts of it will create some sort of twisted marketing schedules. I think it would be really cool if the payout was daily (if they can make that happen). It would likely encourage the immediate spend of it into small items (like food)... but also probably drugs.
