So is this going to be another clusterfuck like 10DLC? I am glad our company stuck with our guts and intentionally decided not to go outbound, but I almost feel bad for the startups that were banking on full outbound.

Interesting juxtaposition in the comments of "I don't answer calls from numbers I didn't recognize because of how scam-prone modern telephony is" with "many startups have seen huge profit opportunity in making outbound phone calls automatically at scale".

Reminds me of the story about overhearing Juul employees on BART talk about how hard they were working to make sure their kids never got anywhere near their product and that if other parents didn't do that, what happened next was their own fault.
