I’ve noticed that there are a lot more ads appearing in my Facebook feed recently.
Tonight I had an advert for a care home.
I also had a bank, my doctor, a newspaper, BBC, a holiday company, private education company, a book company, UNICEF, BBC (a second time). And the list goes on.
At the same time I am seeing my spam box filling up faster and faster. And they are getting smarter and smarter at producing fake emails.
But the main drive I see is in “your internet connection / amazon prime account…”. And since I am in lockdown I have decided it is nice for these people to call me and chat – so I have turned of my call blocker.
I like to exchange pleasantries, or maybe speak a different language (which may or may not exist). Some of them see the funny side. But I have been having fun over the last few days.
