justifying spending money on anything a corporation offers is entirely subjective. I spend £2.50 every morning on a coffee made by a large company before I get into work. I don't "have" to because we have drinks facilities in my workplace which are free, but I choose to because I like it and that can also be considered a waste of money by others. The coffee company in question have gotten away with paying next to no corporation tax in the UK, they're considered by many to be money grabbing, opportunistic and and have questionable ethical policies, and yet no one stands up and accuses me of not being a "real" coffee drinker because I choose to give them £12.50 a week. There are far worse things going on in the world right now and some things are inevitable. Yes people buying emotes is going to impact others in the future and corporations will just find new ways to extract every last penny from their customers, but does it really matter in the grander scheme of things? no. You're alive, you're breathing and you have the freedom to choose what you do with and in your life. Many do not.
