My home is an ad free zone. I pay for Premium and I’d pay for no commercials, but since that isn’t an option, I block them.
This war on SponsorBlock is reminiscent of the 80s and the war on VCRs. Advertisers tried to make taping things illegal because they argued people would fast forward through commercials. They were right, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have the right to choose what we watch.
But you did go on to compare this situation to the war on VCRs. Which I think is a poor comparison. You gave your opinion, so I gave mine. That’s kind of how this works here for everyone, not just for you.

Nobody here is trying to force you to stop using it though.
They explained why they don’t use sponsorblock, and why they believe you shouldn’t either. But the choice is still yours.
Theres is a wide gap between offering a perspective on why watching the sponsorships is worthwhile, and trying to legally force you.
I didn’t accuse them of trying to force me to stop using SponsorBlock. They gave their opinion, so I gave mine. That’s kind of how this works here.
