I waste a lot of time, and incur a significant amount of aggravation with unsolicited phone calls, emails and text messages from people trying to sell me something.
This blog is to throw out an idea in the hope some tech genius will pick it up and run with it.
Why can't some company provide phone, email and text services that provide that anyone who wants to contact me has to pay me a nickel. I can create exceptions for family, friends, business associates or other people who I want to be able to contact me for free, but everyone else pays me a nickel. Maybe my provider takes a $.01 commission from my nickel for providing the service.
I think the volume of phone, email and text spam would drop hugely if it cost spammers a nickel for each spam message then sent. Life would be significantly less aggravating and I would be more efficient if I wasn't regularly interrupting what I am doing to respond to what turns out to be someone trying to sell me something I am not interested it.
