Honestly, even if you're only paying $0.01 to send some random spam message before your number is blacklisted and message deleted, that's a pretty shit cost per click.

I'm not a spam guy, but even small costs like that would massively change the economics of bulk spam.

The many, many people who can’t. You can’t stop every spammer, but you sure can stop the angry twelve-year-olds.
