My brother keeps clicking every link in his inbox

I told him a hundred times to check the sender before clicking, but he just opened a fake shipping notification. Now his social media is spamming all our contacts. I had to walk him through a password reset and malware scan, which took half my Sunday. It feels like teaching internet safety to a toddler.

Man, some folks just never learn, do they? How many times do you have to go through this before it clicks? Feels like you're stuck in a loop with no end.

Hey @king.aaron, but hitting repeat on a problem isn't always bad. Some folks need that cycle to really GET it. Like when you're learning a new tool, you mess up a few times before it clicks. Or with connections, people often make the same mistakes until they learn a better way. Those loops can help you grow if you pay attention. It's not always a dead end.

That 'stuck in a loop' feeling is why I set up filters for him.
