When a homeless person asks me for money and I tell them I’m unemployed and live on the basic income the state gives me they say they’re sorry and wish me good luck, they know lol
I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You’ll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you’re unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It’s a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.
Collecting Magic: the Gathering cards works much the same way, except you at least have some tangible cardboard with a highly variable price instead of a digital token signifying you own the concept of an ugly piece of digital art at the end of a day.
Most scams prey on people with more money than friends.
Ohhh so they don’t target me because I don’t have either!

Yep, every single time. If I have some smokes I don’t mind sharing though, at least.
I’m sooo glad I don’t smoke, I don’t know how I didn’t start
I don’t really smoke either, honestly. Like maybe some weed but usually I just carry mini cigars for a social thing.

Oh don’t worry I was cutting along the ‘funny because it’s true’ line.
Some of the shotgun stuff would get me, if I could buy basic amenities without crying.
I’m full on with team silver lining, I have a roof, for now.

I must be invulnerable to scams then
