The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

A sincere thank you to everyone who has already watched our new video. I am so grateful to be able to do anything creatively, especially weird, niche, long things like this. This project in total took a year and a half to complete, and I am thrilled that many of you enjoyed it.
So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

As I watch the desperate posts of talented, hardworking people losing their homes, begging for help to feed their kids, trying frantically to catch any work… I can’t help but feel that those who steered our industry into this storm need to face similar consequences to the Icelandic bankers of 2008.

Disabled people need healthcare, housing, food and social supports.
This should not be controversial.
They shouldn’t have to have “thought ahead” and purchased disability insurance.
They shouldn’t have to beg, grovel and “prove their worth”.
They shouldn’t left to die.
We are not expendable

the 'it's inevitable' argument requires me to believe that people will see the quality of their entertainment - their circuses, if you will - massively decline while prices remain the same or even go up and just shrug, and it's like, no they won't lol
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

AI generated content of any kind undermines the credibility of whatever is being communicated
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

The thing about fansubs is regardless of anything else that may be going on, ultimately fansubs are made by someone who *really cares about what they're making*. That actually was true at one time at Crunchyroll. It is not true now.
