Like, it can’t be a real person, right? Has anyone tried following the links? I’m curious how they’re scamming people. It just seems like anyone getting the same message 5 times won’t fall for being catfished, so I don’t understand what their strategy is.

    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 even 5 minutes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      And theoretically, if there would be half as much scammers as decent people, everyone would have to waste all their time with your strategy, but with my strategy no one would waste time.

      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.
