Crunchyroll has faced backlash after voice actor David Wald revealed the company has been illegally opening and distributing his fan mail for the past five years, violating U.S. federal law regarding obstruction of correspondence. This revelation sparked widespread outrage, highlighting Crunchyroll’s questionable practices, including its monopoly over anime distribution in the West following its acquisition by Sony. Critics argue that Crunchyroll has become complacent, exemplified by the failure of its original content and a significant price increase for subscriptions. Furthermore, Wald’s situation underscores broader issues within the company, such as alleged discrimination against voice actors and a toxic work environment. Crunchyroll’s response has been inadequate, stating they are investigating the matter but failing to acknowledge their responsibility. This incident adds to the growing list of grievances against Crunchyroll, raising concerns about the treatment of voice actors and the future of anime distribution.

Plus, OP delivered a text version.
I am phenomenally excited about that. I hope it becomes a universal thing.
Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.
And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.
What’s wrong with technology connections? He makes easily digestible if not a bit snarky videos on classic and popular tech. It’s not really appropriate for this community though so I can see why you wouldn’t care for it being posted here
I think I missed a bit of sarcasm here…
The /s was delivered by the preference for newspapers. That was the giveaway in case you weren’t catching on earlier.
Yeah I think it was clear there was sarcasm when they concluded on newspaper being the best form to get tech news lol
I thought it was because YouTube had become unwatchable
People have been saying it’s unwatchable for years and I can barely see the difference
I heard video tutorials are just a product of ‘big tube’.
As respectfully as possible: huh?
We’re on a link aggregation site, for posting links to things off-site and discuss them in relevant communities
If something is a video or article it makes no difference on its quality or relevance to the community at hand, no?
Videos demand more of the user. They demand audio access. It’s not accessible for casual browsing.
I’m with you. I want to read stuff not have my time wasted by some 20 min video that could have been a 30 sec video.
Edit: I got curious. It’s a 15 min video.
If only there were some save for later button so you could come back later or something
Yeah, figured people would downvote me for pointing out that was a garbage response
Videos don’t degrade the quality of s link aggregator, you’re not required to immediately participate the moment you see it
In your opinion, maybe
Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em
Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere
Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉
Firefox picture in picture say, “huh?”
