It seems like literally half of all social media at present is just scams trying to get deposits sent for sex/drugs/whatever and I am just increasingly staggered by the absolutely tremendous scale of it all
Like I literally wouldn't be surprised if bots trying to prey on horny idiots outnumbered humans at this point
Kinda curious how that whole industry will go when boomers died off. Yeah there’s a sucker born every minute but boomers have to be where the money’s at. Plus they’re pretty bad with tech compared to other generations (and general tech literacy is very low to begin with).
I'm curious how that industry is going now, like, it's really hard to imagine enough people falling for that shit often enough to justify all the activity trying to make it happen
And the ones that are fully automated, like, doesn't chatGPT cost money to run???
