If I happen to get a robocall when I'm not doing anything - say waiting on CI to finish - then I'll talk to them and make my way as high up the food chain as possible then tell them to take me off of their robocall list.

If enough people waste their time, then it should become a less profitable strategy.

Does it seem that this strategy is affecting the number of robocalls you receive? Does it appear to increase or decrease?

I am wondering if robocallers rate phone numbers based on their interactions and possibly share that data...

I've not noticed a change. I actually don't think my strategy would make a difference on an individual scale. But if widely deployed, I think it could.
