Almost all of these turn into attempts to get the target to buy into some crypto scam or other.
It’s not meant to catch people who are moderately aware, it’s meant to catch the stupid, ignorant, and easy to manipulate. Being an obvious scam is part of the utility - it saves time by naturally filtering out anyone who is too aware to actually give them any money.

Ah. Gotcha. It’s super annoying. I wish there was a way to block messages based on keywords, but this isn’t really the purpose of Lemmy. I guess, neither is scamming people, but here we are.
