I agree i should have used different words, scam-ableism is counter productive to educate about traps.
I am pretty sure my dad fell for one of these because an ad popt up trying to pay a digital parking meter.
Though he wasn’t trying to get access to illegal content what people behind this campaign are alluding towards.
Scams come in so many shapes and forms, there is accidental click and there is “looked like an official Netflix page”. How many people will knowingly pay for something they know is available for free?
