    You’re absolutely right. Sponsorblock directly harms the average people making content, it has nothing to do with Google.

    It’s gross and reveals how much of the complaining about ads has absolutely nothing to do with privacy or malware or corporate profiteering or anything like that. These people are just nakedly selfish.

    Wear those downvotes with pride. They mean you have a conscience and feel empathy.

      Cheers. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a response to a normal ethical take. We complain about wanting free and open source products but by the looks of it nobody is able to sit through a 20 second sponsor.

      If we had everything on a free open source platform people would still skip the sponsored segment.

      I feel if the sponsor blocks keep up we’ll start to see the creators or sponsors combat it in ways we really don’t like.
