2/ With social media, I block/mute all sorts of keywords to keep my timeline clean. I'm also incredibly quick to block accounts of people who clearly have no interest in civil conversation.
3/ With email, if I get a single cold sales email, I block the entire company domain from ever emailing me again.
I'd have hundreds if not thousands of sales emails (and sales email followups) every day if I didn't cut that junk off at the start.

And then if your company calls me trying to sell me something...blocked.

5/ There are a near infinite number of people all vying for access to your attention for a huge array of purposes and you owe nothing to any of them.
