Be careful with the declining part. I believe some companies, notably gym memberships, have ways to make your life difficult if your payment doesn't go through

I think I read once that was due to outdated standards related to low resolution television sets. If too much text was on screen at once you couldn't make it out on a standard definition TV. They kept doing it that way for a while after HD became ubiquitous just because that's how they always did it.

One of our two parties wins more when more people vote.

Therefore, the other party must oppose voting by the largest groups, such as young people and people who live in cities.

Which is to say, they oppose democracy itself. It is only a question of degree

For YouTube content I really like the Tubular app on Android. It has Sponsorblock built-in, which you mentioned, but it also has an option to skip silence.

I find it particularly nice for gaming content, or any point where the YouTuber is reading text aloud.

I must have skipped hundreds of hours of pointless silence by this point
