It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads.

They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.

Why do Gen Z have a growing appetite for retro tech?

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

A tiny doodle of a blue bear in a sketchbook, made with paint pens & colored pencils. He’s wearing a little red snow hat and has some snowflakes behind him. Around the doodle are some other loose sketches of bears.

We got gen-AI dubs from Amazon and gen-AI subs from Crunchyroll, but if you torrent a fansub that real people worked to translate, code, and stylize, you're the piece of shit.

When Chainsaw Man finishes serialization, I'm gonna jump straight into the Reze arc movie to see how much I understand about the series via social media osmosis before reading the manga proper.

I have a rough-ish idea on the premise so surely that's all I need🫡

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!
