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.

    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.
