That's the problem ViolentMonkey and sites like https://greasyfork.org/ are trying to fix but as with many "community contributions" the quality is all over the place

I mainly use ViolentMonkey for my own scripts

As do I. I've never published anything on any community userscript website mostly because I am scratching my own itch(es) and find it suspicious that anyone else would have the same itch and yet want it solved in exactly the same way

it's super underrated I think, I customize sites quite regularly now to fix things that annoy me! Either to remove things, or to modify content so it takes advantage of a big monitor

Copyright law has damaged global culture. Who benefits when the copyright to Winnie-the-Pooh takes almost 100 years to expire? Only the companies who sell licensed merchandise. Think about how many fan works we’ll never see because we bizarrely decided to grant creators a monopoly on whatever they create, even if the work enters the public mythology like with Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. The people of the country should own the stories and characters after a reasonable length of time, and 100 years is laughable.

Worth noting that during the USMCA negotiations under Trump, Canada agreed to extend copyright to life-plus-70 years, up from the current life-plus-50. However, Canada has a 2 year deadline (from 1 July 2020) to actually implement the change to life-plus-70.

Funny as a patent is granted for much less time. You’d think patents and copyright would have the same duration

Is THAT what's going on? What an awful, miserable, hostile website. Please stop trying to do silly Javascript tricks and just give me text and pictures.

Won't somebody please think of the engagement

They used to be commiserate. For whatever reason media based rent seekers lobbied better than ones with technical products.
