Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.
I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!
Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

In the middle of an unassuming new-build housing estate in Prestonpans, just outside Edinburgh, you can find this imposing statue. The work of Andy Scott’s, who also designed the Kelpies, it is a memorial to the 81 men and women who, throughout the 17thC, were executed in the town for witchcraft.
