I remember in the mid/late 2000s/2010s using Spamcop.net prodigiously to report every spam email I got because there were just so many. Spamcop automated the reporting process by looking up the mailhost that the spam was sent from and sent a report to the ISP hosting it along with any URL included to the site hosting it, as well as sites like Phishtank, the APWG, the FTC & etc. Spamcop also ran their own RBL for the emails that got reported to them. Eventually, the vast majority of hosting companies just refused reports from Spamcop altogether and spam really didn't get 'solved' until Gmail came out and Google's spam filtering software actually worked. I also use Google Messages for this same reason as they will just catch the majority of bogus SMS spam & I have Bitdefender which catches the majority of phishing attempts. Other than that there are premium options like Robokiller and YouCall which admittedly have pretty funny ways to answer phone calls and waste their time or answer phone calls with the disconnect/SIT tones. But when people ask me how to deal with this problem I typically point them to https://ftc.gov/robocalls https://ftc.gov/robocalls that has handy info.
