Oh so you’re a telemarketer.

Not everyone who makes outbound calls is a telemarketer.

The healthcare company I work for has a whole department of very nice people who make outbound calls to offer free health and nutrition classes to poor people.

Yes, they're free. As an employee I am also required to take one of the classes each year, so I know what they entail. Yes, they cost our company money. No, they're not sponsored by some corporation or ad company, and no we don't sell people's information on (HIPAA and all that).

The real world isn't a tech bubble cage fight.
