      Being performative? No longer paying some entity is not a mere “performance.”

        Intentionally misunderstanding, the ultimate defence of someone feeling attacked and not wanting to self assess.

          You can pretend that I’m intentionally avoiding something and not wanting to self assess, but I think you just failed to make your point.

              You have barely even tried to make a point. You just said “Ugh, you guys, ending your spotify subscriptions?! You know nothing!” And then pretended you had something to say.

              Well, what is it?

                Look around, people are announcing boycotts of a service they’ve never used and seeking applause for leaving years ago for unrelated reasons. Apparently “I’ve never had Spotify” is a political achievement now.

                Performance. It didnt need subtitles.

      there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, yes, but there are still many shades of grey. everyone needs to develop their own measure for these things, do what feels right for themselves. OP is doing exactly that.
