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.

    in my opinion they don’t contribute to the quality here.

    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?

        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

          1. What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
          2. I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
          3. If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video. Maybe accompanied by a video to make use of audience reach, if you already have a channel with an audience, that is.

            In your opinion, maybe

            I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never

            Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em

            If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video

            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 😉
