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

Yes, for example. Or by not watching the content in the first place. Change never happened because everything worked kinda ok, it happened when things stopped working. The french revolution didn't happen because everyone was well fed.

If sponsored content stops being a viable income method, either the video will stop existing or new ways of monetization will be discovered. New ways of monetization may be "let's just collectively pay artists so they can make videos". Of course that's unlikely, but it's more likely than continuing with what we do right now.
