Is it more fun to answer non-paying questions than it is rewarding to answer paying ones?

Basically, I'm just wondering whether people are on this site for the money or just for the heck of it.

It seems like most people forget about the money at some point even if that's what brought them here in the first place (because they're staying for the fun questions), but it does raise the stakes on getting the best answer when there's some money involved.

So I would say it matters more whether the question is interesting than whether or not there's money, but it's not as if paying questions are less fun just because there's money involved

I like both of them, but it's always more fun to make money :) It kills time and maybe even gives you a little incentive.

I answer more questions that don't offer a tip so I guess I'm not focused on the money :)

It is more fun to answer questions that don't offer a tip because these types of questions don't always involve research.
