        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

      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.
