And a funny quote I found from Cory Doctorow a year ago: “One in four web users has installed a blocker, making it (in the words of Doc Searls) the largest consumer boycott in history”.
I’ve noticed that spurts thing too. I’m a sole proprietor so I also get endless business loan text spam. Those also seem to go in spurts for some reason. One week I’ll get two a day and then nothing for the next couple weeks.

All sorts of people are fed up with this shit.
That, and the spam texts and calls. I hit the wall with this last night, and finally got a call/text screening app. fuck that noise.
I just don’t even answer my phone anymore unless I recognize the number. It’s exhausting.
I was spending way too much time blocking numbers. I legit got 3-4 calls a day and about the same for texts. It seems to go in spurts though

In Norway you can just opt out of phone sellers through Brønnøysundsregisteret
You’re supposed to be able to in the US too, but most of the spammers don’t care about the law unfortunately.
