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.

It’s not their problem what your preference is, and they aren’t incentived enough to care.

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.
