Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?

Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.

Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.

I had to look up the term to notice what I did. I will leave it be I guess. Haha

Wait, what term? I wasn't saying you made a mistake; I was pointing out the ridiculousness of someone being a doctor but dealing in such unscientific nonsense as astrology.

Edit: Or, wait, did you actually make a typo and it was supposed to be "astronomy"? If so, I didn't even realize. xD

Yep, hahaha. Not a native english speaker and I confused the terms.

Hey no worries. Sorry that I came across as correcting you. x3

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I should have been corrected tbh.

Fair enough, I suppose.
