I am getting inundated with calls from some sort of tax scam and it's driving me nuts. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Can confirm. I used to answer the calls to waste their time, ask them to hold while I go take a shit etc. I started to get more calls after doing this, until about a week in when the scammer told me to fuck off and stop wasting his time! After that, not so many calls.

Call me a grumpy old man but I'm not sure this is significant beyond "young people play (video) games". The report seems to show little difference in % of adults gaming between 2004 and 2024

Maybe we can patent being a shitty CEO that exploits humanity for profit.
