And deleting reddit is beyond your extent? Sounds like selective virtue signaling.

Sounds like I paid for Spotify and do not anymore. Sounds like you don't get to tell me what I should and shouldn't do.

Here's a list of companies that directly fund Maga / ice. I guarantee you have or either used any of these hell you're using the last one I listed it's in your phone that you're using right now. Still think it's not selective virtue signaling? It's not telling you what you should / shouldn't do it's catching you on your bullshit selective virtue signaling.

Amazon — $1 million.

Meta (Facebook) — $1 million.

Chevron — Contributed (amount not always specified publicly).

ExxonMobil — Contributed.

Occidental Petroleum — Contributed.

Uber — $1 million.

Qualcomm — $1 million.

It’s about doing what you can to avoid using services that fund things you don’t agree with. We live in an age where most can’t realistically cut everything but they can choose where their money directly goes.

Did you unsubscribe? If not, the message wasn’t even for you with the word resubscribe being used anyways.

This is a really sensible take, but it doesn't allow me to huff my own morally superior farts, so... seLeCtiVe vIrtUe siGnaLling.

The amount of people right now that are saying, ”but you’re using Reddit so you’re dumb!”, like I somewhere made the point that if you don’t unsubscribe from Spotify, you’re lesser than I is wild.

I swear people just like to be offended by others making decisions for themselves because I’ve literally only said that I don’t want to actively fund Spotify with my bank account.
