How people's reluctance to take phone calls is affecting companies and gig workers in particular

The surge in spam calls and fear of scams have led to a widespread tendency to ignore calls from unknown numbers.

This change in phone habits, favoring texting over calling, is driven by the younger generation's desire for efficiency and privacy.
