Does the average American really care that they are constantly being bombarded with ads and sales calls? It seems to me they can live with it.

- wutbrodo 5y agoI switched to Google Voice a decade ago, and it took me years to realize the degree to which everyone else was getting spammed with robocalls. I probably get one a month. I know they don't have Google's technical chops, but I wonder why carriers don't do this? Unless it's not down to spam filtering, and it's simply that it costs more for automated systems to interface with Google Voice (once in a blue moon, entering my GV number into an automated system gets rejected).
- fzzzy 5y agoInteresting. I started with my number as a google voice number and then switched it over to real cell phone service a few years later and I never get spam calls. I wonder what is different about gv numbers.

- acdha 5y agoIs “care” the right word? I would be curious about the number of people who don't like it but feel that they do not have much ability to change it or that it's lower priority than other problems.
- tharne 5y agoI think that's it. After a certain amount of feeling helpless, people just throw up their hands and say, "f-- it, I guess this is just how things are".
