> Many would argue using "free" media sources is more moral since you're not supporting what many consider to be evil companies.
They’d be wrong because you’re still supporting the platform by patronizing it in general, talking about it online, etc. You’re contributing to its popularity and legend. If you believed that Google is uniquely evil, then you should abstain altogether.
Say I know a pedophile cult owns a local pizza restaurant. A group of coworkers go there to eat, and I join. I eat a slice of the XL pizza. I don’t pay my part of the split because I don’t support pedohiles. Was this moral?
