>I question whether we are living on the same planet.

I feel the same way when I see a friend ignore a call. I am curious what the difference is. What filters do you have in place? As far as I know, here's what I have:

My number that I've been giving out freely for a decade > Law-abiding spammers check donotcall.gov > Google Voice checks it's known spammers list and forwards legit calls to my Verizon number (whatever that is, I never wrote it down) https://support.google.com/voice/answer/115089 > Verizon checks its known spammers list (free, I think default?) https://www.verizon.com/solutions-and-services/call-filter/ > My Samsung phones have always come stock with a spam filter baked into their Android image https://www.hiya.com/products-smart-call > I get the call

Someone in that pipeline is doing a fantastic job I guess.
