There's probably a better way, but I use this graphical element zapper from Ublock Origin to hide distracting elements.
Works wonders for sites that I visit regularly. StackOverflow: Do I need related posts? The left sidebar (whatever it is they have there, I have forgotten already)? Their footer?
i'm sure they will buy back in after the coming massive crash. buckle up!! hedge funds, too big to fail banks, major wall street firms etc. etc. are all going to zero. the Ponzi Scheme that is the US economy is coming to an end and Gamestop is the linch pin. thanks to illegal naked short selling there are BILLIONS of counterfeit GME shares sold short that MUST be purchased back. this will be the largest transfer of wealth in history.
Its doubly frustrating for me because I'm on a kidney transplant list and there is a small change I might get a call out of the blue even thought there is still some wait time. So I end up answering the phone most of the time...
Until about a month ago, I used to get 2-3 a day on my work phone. I gave up answering, and there's about 200 voicemails in there in a language I don't speak.
3 a day? Last week I got six in the span of 93 MINUTES.
They all matched the area code and prefix of my number but the last four were always different. Block one another calls 12 minutes later.
I’ve had this number for 13 years, have ported it across carriers and it’s long been known by friends and family as the default way to find me. This problem was a mild nuisance years ago. It’s a plague now.
I block just about every number from the area code my phone number is in. I haven’t lived there in that area for a long time and 100% of the calls were spam. One day the spammers will wise up and use the area code where I live rather than where my phone is based but so far Number Shield has worked out great for blocking entire prefixes.
Number Shield looks brilliant! I get a lot of spam calls from my area code and three number prefix. I don’t have any legitimate contacts with a phone number like that, so blocking the whole range looks like a good solution.
However, I don’t expect any urgent calls from anyone outside of my contacts so I was able to fix the problem by enabling iOS’s Silence Unknown Callers feature.
I was getting two calls every day from a number without any name. Every single day morning and evening even on weekends.
After months I answered and it was obviously a call center but it was from my bank. I'm in Canada and TD spammed me with phone calls for months every day just to ask if I wanted a travel credit card.
Even supposedly legitimate calls can be annoying and stupid.
I use Hiya, with "Scam and fraud calls" set to "Block (send to voicemail)" in Call Settings. It's very effective in my experience: it's rare that a scammer makes it through, and I haven't noticed any false positives.
Are they a real person? For me I've only had an automated voice and that will leave voicemail if I don't pickup; 2-3 times per month all during a condensed period.
