Who's "us?" Personally I noticed a _dramatic_ decrease in spam calls. In 2019 and 2020 I was seeing, at times, three per hour (damn that extended warranty!). Now I might get one every week.

Many of us != The royal Us, your lower volume doesn't invalidate the many who have seen numbers continue to rise.

That's not even mentioning the rise of text message spam/scams/marketing. This election season was made all the worse for me and many that I know by the unstoppable deluge of political spam (all of which has a "text stop to end" option that does nothing because each one is from a different organization, thanks Citizens United!)
