Do you think of making a SponsorBlock report as a doing a Civic Duty ? (lemmy.ml)

Here is my two cents on that question

When I fill out a sponsorblock,
I feel like I have comitted an act of civic duty
I feel pride

I hope others feel that too

I want to ***** on the grave of Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays and sponsorblock lets me symbolically do it.

We are participants in an hyperwar and I hope our side win.

Fellow sponsorblocker,
I don't know who you are,
I don't know where you are
But can I see you and I am proud of you
Fellow sponsorblocker, I salute you O7

To stop the nasty goblins and their stooges
who constantly besiege our minds and try to infect them
##Is our solemn duty
in this digital hyperwar
To protect the innocent from their vile endeavour
to have less and want more

Eh, I don't mind sponsored content at least they are explicit and naturally skippable.

Unskippable stuff is the real issue imho, I don't use Sponsorblock on purpose.

You could use Sponsorblock and simply not skip sponsors. Use it to skip interaction reminders or intros, for example.

It's a very useful extension.

Yes, just having them clearly labelled on the seek bar is great
if you decide the product is not for you, there is a button to skip to the end of the segment manually, if you'd like to consider it first

I have a severe allergy to all paid speech and derivatives.

My only regret is that I can't disinfect it from from my internet at the router level without my very old phone having to do the heavy lifting
