Virtue signalling to me is to do something over the top with little practical utility, or which is even counter-productive, to show off one's apparent virtues.

Virtue signalling to me is to do something over the top with little practical utility, or which is even counter-productive, to show off one's apparent virtues. It can be incomparably frustrating as it focuses on non-issues or minor issues and misses the bigger picture. I personally don't see it used outside of those contexts but it shouldn't be used to dismiss actual action like doing your part against climate change.
