      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.
