    You are so deluded if you think you being cheap and talking about it on a super niche social platform is what will make change happen. I’d be very cautious about any social justice type move that has direct immediate benefits only to you. Don’t be fooled by the mind’s willingness to justify incentivation - you’re breaking a societal contract for your own benefit and that’s it. Do you have a YouTube channel where you are promoting a movement? Are you writing letters to politicians or are you just 20% richer than the rest of us?

      Yeah, people like you would see not getting ripped off as “being cheap.”

      The person you’re arguing with is on the Canadian instance, so likely living in Canada, where servers are paid real wages, not $2.75 or whatever. (If the real wages still aren’t enough to live on, then Canada should probably be raising the minimum wage, rather than tipping a small percentage of their minimum wage workers.)
