      It has little to do with protection and more to do with keeping a clean conscience. I won’t support evil.

        The issue here isn’t your about your conscious. The majority of people do use these and those people are being influenced.

        Your comment has a sort of fuck you I got mine vibe to it.

          No it’s not, lol. If people stop using these platforms they will fail. Sounds to me like you’re just justifying your continued support of these services and platforms. Defeatist loser mentality.

            You just assumed I use those platforms which makes you the fool here.

            You not supporting evil doesn’t stop evil. To try for another approach here since you seem rather dense, evil prevails when good men do nothing.

            I’m sure you’ll just attack that too becuase what’s important here to you is your feelings. Doing something was never going to be an option for you

                Thank you for asking so nicely and with such curtesy and humility after graciously answer my questions.

                I actively encourage and warn others to not use these platforms. I also pirate all their shit and share it with those around me who struggle to shake their addiction to the content.

                    Not the one being smug. That’s you. I am not the one virtue signally. Literally what I pointed out you were doing. I’m not going to tell you to stop or not do it, because you do you. My thing is mocking it anytime I see it. In case it’s not clear, I’m not claoming this makes me the better person.

        I mean, congrats? Kind of irrelevant to the discussion here, then.

          Lol, short of going out and killing these bastards there isn’t much else I can do other than to stop supporting these services. I have to hope if enough folks like me stop using these services they will fail. There is a point where it only takes one straw to break the camels back.
