It helps that their business model doesn't rely primarily on ads or user tracking, and instead relies on subscriptions from other news businesses. This obviously isn't perfect as they do serve some ads, and it requires those other businesses to exist and be profitable, but it's a helpful layer of insulation.

I got $9.31 from the ISP I had in college! My sister-in-law had $82 from the same ISP. Seems to be a pattern.

We're agreeing that the individual act is virtuous. You're not understanding that complaints of virtue signaling are not criticizing the individual act. They're criticizing the unspoken lack of other acts.

It generally means that we don't believe they'd be taking that action if there weren't a camera rolling or trending hashtag to follow. It's not criticizing the actual action, but the context around the action.

I usually do fine on my own, but if I'm struggling, ASMR videos can really put me to sleep.

I don't really like the ones with girls doing your hair or skincare that are the top search results (but lots of people like them and they might work for you!), and prefer ones that are just simple wooden blocks, glass beads, washboards, etc.
