Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high.
I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination.
Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for.
Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect.
It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant.
Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else and make them money. The government gets a sneak peek of this production and lets lawmakers on either side of the aisle (not sure exactly which aisle - the dairy or produce but whatever) have at it. Perhaps add some ammo to this conversation.
Brave new world.
