  If we all wasted 5 minutes we could shut down the system.

  People really underestimate the power of collective action. It’s just meat based ddos.

    I mean if “everyone” collective action ignored them together, no one would have to waste time ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    But yes I understand it of course, protecting the weak is not a bad thing.

      you mean, everyone who already knows it’s a scam or can recognize that it probably is. which is not everyone. otherwise the whole thing wouldn’t exist.

        Which is what I acknowledged with my last sentence. All I’m saying is that both methods could be worthwhile, and in a perfect world where everyone is educated, everyone ignoring the scammer would be better.

      Maybe. That gets expensive very fast. We should all ask for artwork.

  Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted. I always love talking to Indian scammers when they call about my student loans that don’t exist.
