When people are using this term, they are often implying that the ones signalling are trying to send false information to others. By signaling virtue they will be treated like a virtuous person even when they are immoral. The implication is that people virtue signalling are conscious that they don't believe what they say, but still say it for the sake of gain.

Virtue signaling is a specific application of a major idea in game theory and economics. It is not abstract like "hate." See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signaling_game
Re:Ask HN: Any great product onboarding experiences you've had lately?

The plex app for the ps4 had a painless onboarding process that took about 30 seconds. It had you log in on a browser and put in a code the app gave you. It worked right away and left me impressed.
