  • This is all anecdotal but I signed up for the icogni family plan since my parents are boomers who are seriously tech illiterate. After signing up, it seems like I’ve gotten more scam texts and calls, at least initially. I even got a scam letter twice from the same scam. So I would just save your money.

    It’s possible that they are doing what they advertise and getting your name off databases but maybe the act of requesting that makes those companies send out your info to another data broker.







  • I think part of the problem is that people see the same grammatical mistakes repeatedly and think it’s normal; especially since it seems most of the written content people consume is written by the average person and not edited (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram etc). So they honestly don’t know what’s proper or not.

    For example, I’ve seen multiple YouTube shorts in which people pluralized words by adding " 's" to them. Someone I met recently thought the same too.

    Not sure if there’s a solution since grammar and spelling aren’t things people care about. Can’t force people to have better written content if their viewers don’t care or know any better.
