Nah, I feel like it’s one of those trade offer memes:

I get: To replace your critical thinking skills

You get: To help us use the energy and water equivalent to a small nation

Never felt like a good deal, you know?

*Looks at capitalism*

…Checks out.

It’s a can

Aw hell, if it’s collapsed I’ll just start a big “drive” in theater and have community showings! No society means no copyright enforcement!

Weirdly wholesome really, it’s about acknowledging your role models and thanking them for being there. Sure it’s a bit parasocial but he’s championing their causes so I can see why they’d want to express gratitude.

That’s common misinformation, there’s no such thing for telecoms (otherwise a heated argument with a teenager could get you flagged as spam). The correct move is report as spam and move on.

If you get these your best bet is to report it as spam. Just a PSA to everyone.

I’ll die on this hill with you fellow person of culture.
