In the US, you also have multi-level marketing schemes, where people,
fully believing in the product itself without any ulterior motive of
their own and without lying (for they know no better), perpetuate
scams.  And since both social media (including our well known code
hosting platforms) operate like multi-level marketing schemes and
conventions at least have the potential to do so, there can be fair
grounds for rejecting ("not buying") them even without assuming malice
on the part of the person proposing them.

In other words, I don't buy that not buying something is expressly
reserved to instances of deliberate trickery.  At the very least, the
dictionary definition of refusing to believe something leaves open the
reasons as for why one does so.

Cheers
