why are spam ads and stuff so stupidly obvious?
i'm not complaining or anything but you'd think they'd at least try to make spams so people will actually fall for them. for example, i just saw an obvious spam ad on facebook saying "you have 1 new tweet". well how can i have a new tweet if i don't even have twitter? or one of my friends got a pop up saying "you're the millionth visitor of (insert website name here)" when he never visited that website in his life. or the ones that tell you you're the millionth visitor EVERY TIME you go to that website. it's just so ridiculous that it's hard to believe some people are dumb enough to actually fall for them.

Since they cost nothing to send,Spammrs do not care if any individual message may not apply to even the vast majority of the people that get them. It's simply a numbers game.
If they blast out 6 million Tweeter related SPAM messages, there is a very good chance that some of those people use Tweeter Say 100,000 of them have Tweeter accounts, even if 99.5% of those can tell it's spam, that still leave 500 potential victims.

because some people are soooo stupid and dont know nothing about computers, the internet and how anything works, and people that have twitter are also really stupid and would click that to see what there "tweet" is, also some people are very gullible
