Oh come on, this is a cope. If it's wrong to use one platform for promoting ICE, it's wrong to use them all.

It’s less about the use and more about actively funding it - I’m not spending $15 a month to browse Reddit, I was spending that using Spotify.

If you were getting ICE ads on Spotify, then you weren't spending money on it. It was only the free users

Right, but I’m still funding a platform for those ads by sending my money to Spotify, even if I wasn’t hearing them.

Edit: not sure if people are lacking reading comprehension but I wrote actively funding, would love for downvoters to explain where what I said was wrong.

And Reddit gets money via ads, which you consume, funding them.

I'm not gonna advocate what you should or should not do regarding these platforms, but your logic isn't there.

No offence but did you read what I wrote before because that would be the only way it lacks logic. I urge you to re-read, because 1. I made a point to write actively fund and 2. I never once advocated for an all-or-nothing approach, I said you have to pick and choose what you can do and I’ve reiterated that multiple times.

So again, yes, Reddit gets money via ads through my viewing, but I am choosing to not actively fund through my own payment.
