MODERATORS
I've just cancelled my Crunchyroll sub, not only because of the user content deletion but because they lock many translations and animes out of Spain and the quality of some subs are shit generated with AI. My new streaming service is nyaa.
This saddens me. The comments of the animes I watched usually had some interesting trivia or background information that I had missed.
you can still use MAL with malsync browser extension and then you can get decent reviews you need
The amount of people bootlicking a corporation's decision to cut costs rather than just moderate effectively is pretty astonishing for Lemmy,
Plenty of people got value out of the comment section - if nothing else, they were invaluable in knowing when to skip past the recap/opening theme/filler content in long-running shows like One Piece.
Most of it is pretty inane, but there was some useful stuff in there, and I always found it fun to see what other people thought of particularly crazy episodes.
Find another place to post and stop crying. 🤷
“Protecting our community," by destroying it. If you don't have a community, then it can't be toxic. Were the comments so bad that this was the only solution?
Most streaming services don’t do comment sections. That’s mostly a YouTube and TikTok thing where the sites depend on user submitted content and also function as a social network. Despite this, people talk about shows on those services, just elsewhere.
it definitely helps that anime tends to be niche and not mainstream (though there's still some toxicity, ofc).
Omfg the comment section lovers are literally a vocal minority, this is kinda silly to see play out.
And nothing of value was lost.
It would be nice if those comments were moderated, but mostly what I saw in crunchy roll comments was straight up fascist propaganda. I'm in a place where I'm like... Not everything needs a comment section. I can take the criticism this makes me a crunchy roll bootlicker. I'll take that L, but know this: we should all be pirating stuff all the time given how the big corporations treat our art and creations
I'm guessing that if it's all cartoons, it's mostly kids that watch it? The comments sections must be horrendous
your guess would be wrong
Not about the comment sections.
Or the cartoons, it would seem
They're horrendous but because of fascist adults
nah we're just dan and phil fans.
No thoughtcrime, only consume.
Harmful to Sony's bottom line.
