Society would collapse. While working out of enjoyment instead of necessity is a noble and good goal. There are jobs that no one enjoys. Money can be used as an incentive to motivate people to work on jobs that aren’t that enjoyable, but still necessary.

Indigenous peoples figured this shit out before centralized governments and computers, I’m sure we can think of something.

Living in a nice society is all the motivation people need. I hate doing dishes, but I do them because I hate living without clean dishes even more. Everyone understands sometimes we gotta do stuff we don’t like doing for a greater good. Acting like we need a wageslave class to do menial tasks otherwise we’d just let our world collapse is insulting our collective intelligence. We can share the burden.

Which jobs? Most of the time there are people enjoying something you wouldn’t expect

I'm not saying you're wrong. But you realise how that reads right? It sounds like you're saying we should keep a boot on the neck of "the little people" so the rest of us can have a good life.
