      That’s obviously not what @bassturd is saying. What a ridiculous take. Protests don’t usually generate revenue for the thing they’re protesting. This is like protesting starbucks by buying starbucks coffee everyday.

      This is more the equivalent of “vote with your wallet” . And, a boycott is a protest. But if you engage with the site, even if it’s just to complain, they still get paid. And if they get paid, the protests are meaningless.
