    TEXT PRIDE TO 70785

    Why are ads and campaigns like this? Is there something I’d get that I couldn’t get from a website, beside “my phone number potentially leaked and used for robocalls”?

      They’re like that because they want your phone number for robocalls.

        I thought Pride was mainly by and for people of the generation that would rather disable the “call” function of their phones entirely, and “give us your phone number and we’ll tell you who we are” is very much the opposite of how they want organizations to interact with them.
