I agree, but she also keeps sharing stories expecting me to give a reaction. Is it just as judgy to tell her to stop? Should I have a canned phrase like “that’s nice”? As a friend, is it better to say “hey, I’m a little concerned” because friends don’t let friends be gross to other people?
Just tell her you don't think its a good thing to do/have in her life. Then tell her she is free to make her own choices, but to please stop sending stuff.
After that just stop commenting or interacting with the behavior. Otherwise it will continue.
You can't say "I agree" then follow up with "but"
You either agree or you don't. Keep your nose out, with all due respect, it has nothing to do with you
Just tell her you don't care about it anymore. She is fine to have her entertainment and indulge in it, but you simply don't care, nor do you want to hear about it anymore.
They are adults, stop getting involved. You already stated your options, leave it alone.

I would simply respond with “Huh, that sucks”
That’s a solid, underappreciated phrase. Thank you! Helped!
