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
I have submitted over 500 segments and they’ve been used over 250,000 times saving over 1800 hours.
Awesome ! 🙌
That’s 1800 hours of the-device-that-watched-it’s electricity saved (minus whatever amount humans might have skipped manually)
It is civic duty and mutual aid
Today You, Tomorrow Me.
This thread is being a little two wholesome, who is cutting onions in here ?
Me too. Screw sponsors and screw advertisements.
Sometime I land on a 2 minute old video, I watch it and there’s an ad segment
I report it and hit refresh, my marked segment appears but also other segments !
and then I realize, I’m not alone !
Y’all really want people to make videos for free and get no monetary reward from it, innit?
No, we want everyone to not need a monetary reward anymore and just get enough to live regardless of what they choose to do with their time.
What is sponsorblock?
It’s a community of people who suggest sections of video to skip for they are paid speech and other irritant such as interaction reminders, and other indesirable things, it also includes labelling, such as tangents which some people might want to also skip.
I think it is a natural part of us wanting to reclaim our attention back.
