If the text is from a business that I actually patronize, then I reply "STOP". If it's unsolicited, then I don't (I don't want to validate the number to the spammer) and just block the sender instead.

WhatsApp goes one step further in enabling spamming businesses. It allows the same verified businesses to register with different numbers and they can keep spamming you from different numbers. Nope, Meta apparently is too helpless to block the entire business instead of just one number.
