The sole purpose of leisure travel after age 30 is to remind yourself that you’ve lost all childlike joy and the only thing that excites you is aggregating land and resources and watching number go up.
Lots of wrong answers in the replies. As the former King of SMS, it’s simple:
It’s to warm the number.
You cannot send bulk texts containing a URL until your number has earned credibility with phone carriers.

Went to a holiday party and met an Ivy League PhD who talked to me about his dissertation for 15 minutes straight then walked away without me getting a single word in. Overhead him having the same conversation 3 more times with other people. Incredibly locked in.
