Really good question.

Just wrote a lengthy reply to this concern up above, but the tl;dr is that we sit on all numbers for at least 2 months and wait until there's an acceptably low amount of inbound traffic before releasing them back into the available number pool.

Would love to hear how you're using us. Will drop you an email. (And thank you!)

Do the numbers being held register as disconnected to anyone calling them? It seems like that might cut down on some of the junk calls by the time they're released.
