I receive 3-5 robocalls per day, and answer none of them, and only pick up if the caller is in my contact list. Robocalls are ruining my trust in the phone system. Both email and the telephone networks are saturated with spam.

It would be nice to be able to microcharge callers like in one of those old pay-per-email schemes, to reduce some of this noise.

From ads, to emails, to phone calls, these mass unsolicited efforts to compel our attention will ultimately result in the "cord-cutting" we've seen in the TV space.
