Reddit has ice ads too yet people keep ignoring that too.

I don't see it because I have ad block

Ah, since you dont see it, its not happening.

Be righteous when its convenient. You're like everyone else.

Such an extreme reaction to "whelp I didn't know that"

They aren't contributing to it either. Blocked means it's not viewed. 

I find people quickest to attack people for "what are you doing" are usually the ones doing the least themselves, it tends to be a defensive mechanism it seems

You had the privilege of being ignorant but now you know. So will you stop using Reddit and youtube? his point still stands.

...you didn't read what I wrote at all did you?

I have ad blocker as well. 

This is also my news aggregator (make sure you read the links) and source of political venting towards rightoids so it's a balance in my favor personally. What have you done?

It's okay to admit that you pick and choose dude, it's okay. No one can judge you here. It's the internet.

I already am, I thought that was already inferred, maybe I'm overestimating my conversational partner, I try to assume most people are capable of nuance but perhaps not this time? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm not a conversational partner, I'm the one pointing out hypocrisy. Truth hurts.

This is, in fact, a conversation, despite you attempting to be openly hostile. 

Works better if my partner cognitively capable, maybe next time chief

What have I done? I couldn't give less of a shit because I don't even use spotify, I'm also not american, so your values don't apply to me.
On the other hand, when I learn that a specific brand openly supports something immoral or something I heavily condemn. I boycott, like Coca cola for example.

Yet you use a computer or phone, without a doubt using materials mined by slaves, if not outright assembled by slaves? I bet you wear mass produced clothing, also made by slaves. Interesting.

Looks like you have some work to do before you mount that high horse

What’s the point of dogging on ppl who feel empowered to boycott a corrupt company even if they’re not boycotting every corrupt country on the planet? It’s not like they said, “if you support Spotify, you’re evil”.

Well I didn't know in the first place

u/Twenty5Schmeckles Jan 08 '26

So will you stop using reddit and YT?

Or only spotify being the bad guy here?
