This is such a reddit moment on Hexbear.

I have made calls for different reasons including political calls, and still make non-political calls for work from a number people won’t recognize or is blocked, and many young people answer their phone.

Not everyone is afraid of talking on the phone for two minutes.

Usually, I hang up if they don’t say hello in the first 3 seconds because that’s a robo call. But recently I literally had to yell over this bastard that called me because he wouldn’t shut up long enough for me to say don’t call again.

(it was an obvious Medicare renewal scam)

supafuzz,

I answer the phone so seldomly now I’m really starting to wonder why I keep paying for service

Not only is it crazy to answer a phone, but these questionnaires are fucking looong. Even if you’re enough of a weirdo to start one of these calls, you’d have to be completely deranged to actually sit through one.

buckykat,

Boomers love answering the phone no matter how many times in a row it’s a robocall

Less than 1pct apparently. I answer every personally, I almost never get spam calls on the number that I have gotten polls on. Several now, I think I may be over-represented lol. Monmouth and at least one other whose name I remembered in the GOP primary.

The quoted text says 127,000 calls to 93,000 voters. That’s a 73% hit rate!

No, they only got 1,059 responses, a hit rate of 1.1%. There were 93,000 people that they called, some of whom were phoned more than once.

… so I somehow only read the part after the […] and totally missed that 🫠

Dirt_Owl,

Yeah, it’s only going to be confused old ladies answering the phone, so not exactly an accurate metric for the entire population
