I don't understand the spam business model. Almost no spam makes it to my actual inbox, and when it does it's painfully obvious what it is (getting the exact same email from multiple addresses and the like).

So is there one stupidly rich retard out there buying everything sent to him in a sketchy email?

Well, by the look of my spam filter, it seems that, when certain age hits, you spend all your savings in CH3AP V1AGRA 20% DISCCOUNT and Repl1caWatches. Oh! And there is also this medication to get intenseOrgasns. :lol:

It costs them the same (essentially nothing) whether they send 10 e-mails or a million.  If ONE person buys their product as a result, they win.

If I ever catch one I'll still do horrible things to him/her, just out of principle.
