Default VFR position reporting

Recently, Mxsmanic posted:

I'm still not clear on the exact procedure for position reports if you
are flying VFR over long distances without flight following. To whom
do you report your position, and what information should it include?
Which positions do you report and how often?

Why don't you just take a ground school course? It can be less expensive
than an intro flight, though not nearly as much fun, but it would answer
many of this type of question for you. You could even start arguing with
the instructor about what s/he doesn't know about aviation and get a real
interactive response.

As to this particular primitive question: there is no need to report your
position to anyone unless you are experiencing some problem, regardless of
whether you have flight following. This should be obvious, and easy to
understand by asking yourself, "Who would care to know this information?"
