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

I want google youtube facebook amazon apple and the ENTIRE ADVERTISING MARKETING PUBLIC RELATION ETC. INDUSTRY to die an ignominious death.
I want NO ART WHATSOEVER nor journalism, to be advertising funded.
I want to abolish all intellectual property, all created artworks of any kinds to be the infinite freely reproducible goods that they are
I want all art, journalism to be paid in advance and reliably so the people who do it and are good at it have a respectable life and not "just the rockstar" decided by distribution executives
I want all blitzscaled and hyperscaled companies to crash and burn, they are price predator anti-competitive monopolist
I want all giant institution to be abundantly and unambiguously good for us and not just good for shareholder profit
I want all the scum trying to hack my brain with endless manipulation tactics to have their mouth filled with ash and regret
I want to stop all the peeping eyes spying on me in the showers, listening to the vibration of mems devices in my phone and infering my emotional state when I delete a selfie or menstruate
I SHIT TO STOP BEING FUCKED

Is that REALLY too much to ask ?

We know the problem and IT'S "YOU"(*) !

(*) You, the mental pattern that weeps for the ads, ads aren't free they cost us our free will, that's literally what they buy, you probably like saying "well free healthcare isn't free" yes but you know what at least with free healthcare everyone benefits from everyone else being healthy. With ads we sell our souls for more doomscroll and the only ones that benefit is private equity while the creator still gets left behind in the rat race of the tournament economy.
