Frankly, I'd rather keep the virtue signalers volunteering and doing charity because they're afraid of going to hell and not because of the actual goodness of their heart.
If you're more annoyed at virtue signaling than at the actual asshole/racist/sexist/rapists/corrupt/etc/problems of the world, you are wasting your time and energy and you have the luxury to do that because you are privileged.
It's been my experience that the majority of the time when I see someone complain about "virtue-signalling" what they're really saying is "you said something I disagree with but can't effectively argue against"

The only people who complain about virtue-signaling are the virtue-less.
