Sony/Funimation's consolidation and takeover of Crunchyroll and RightStuf has been nothing but a disaster on every level and is actively hostile to fans.
This is what happens when c-suites and MBAs are put in charge of a brand they have no understanding of or just hate dealing with. Shit sucks.

Sports betting just became legal in Missouri and I have been getting literally endless ads for it.
Kinda nuts how quickly gambling became acceptable to just advertise everywhere… and accepted as another way of shitty companies to strip you of your money.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

Said this before, but "AUSTIN POWERS 4" should be a spoof of "Maverick"-legasequels, with Austin as mentor to an agent frozen at end of the 90s and thawed now - but with a recurring gag re: how STAGGERING little society has changed between 1997-2027 compared to Austin's massive 67-97 culture shock
Watching AUSTIN POWERS and another reminder of the wildness of time.
Powers is frozen for 30 yrs, defrosting in 1997.
Surprised with all the reboots, they aren’t doing a 2027 reboot of how a secret agent frozen in 1997 comes back in 2027 to defeat an evil henchman.
Maybe too on the nose.

I started closed captions editing with a company called CaptionMax. It was full time, overnight hours, heavy workload.
A few years ago, CaptionMax was bought and absorbed by 3Play Media. And guess what! Today, they use AI in their workflow, because of course they do.
