Wow, if this is actually sincere and not a gift of some kind... this person is really sad and pathetic.

    Most scams prey on people with more money than friends.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yep, every single time. If I have some smokes I don’t mind sharing though, at least.

    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.
