Without the token node operators have no incentive to run the nodes.

You may be asking why the don't just get paid in ETH. This is for 2 reasons:

1: The company needs initial capital so they need a token to do an ICO. Being realistic here.

2: Using ETH means that if a malicious oracle node operator went rogue and attacked the system for gain they would succeed with no real downside.

If they are paid in LINK and nodes are weighed by LINK staked however and the Chainlink system is considered compromised their LINK will become worthless. Because nodes with more LINK are weighed higher for an attack to succeed the malicious party would need to have a very large amount of LINK, so the attack would naturally make them lose more than gain.

More on what you actually "do":

20% meetings where you decide how to make things and estimate how long it will take.

70% typing code with tunes on your headphones havin a grand time solving puzzles and coming up with creative solutions to complex problems.

10% staring at a debug console of some sort losing your mind and using every profane word you know because [some bug] just doesn't make sense.
