Then why do scammers get so angry? This doesn't even make sense, except for the AI part.

As scummy as it is, it's still how they make their living. Not at all taking their side, but I get pissed when someone wastes my time at work too. No idea how their pay structure is, but if it's commission based, yea, more anger for having time wasted make sense

Just because tying them up doesn't hurt or stop the overall operation, you still wasted that one guys time and probably hurt his metrics 🤷‍♂️

Still not worth it to me
