Omfg the comment section lovers are literally a vocal minority, this is kinda silly to see play out.
No thoughtcrime, only consume.
Crunchyroll has a comment section? I had seem ratings but never looked at the comments
another episode of this phenomenon https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/02/22/rip-culture-war-thread/
I’m guessing that if it’s all cartoons, it’s mostly kids that watch it? The comments sections must be horrendous
nah we’re just dan and phil fans.
They’re horrendous but because of fascist adults
Anime audiences in English areas skew older, late teens early adults, or later still. Still a fair amount of the younger bunch though. Conventions are almost exclusively adults though.
your guess would be wrong
Not about the comment sections.
Or the cartoons, it would seem
Just another reason to sail the seas.
the high seas have a comment section?
if (postTitle.contains(anyStreamingService)) postPiracyPropaganda();
Yeah, lots of illegal anime streaming sites have MAL list import, comment sections, forums, etc.
i mean if you go to crunchyroll just for the comment section and not to actually watch movies… sure?
Why can’t I do both.
This is a solvable problem but requires thinking about anything but profits for a minute. Require accounts and ban them permanently from all comment sections. They only won’t do this because it means that person might unsubscribe.
Good. Not every website needs to be a social media platform too. There’s already plenty of communities on the Internet to discuss anime.
Bad.
Censoring culture is not good, making it so the only place to get news is from paid talking heads who would never bite the hand that feeds, is not a good change.
The community is destroyed.
This isn’t censoring culture. This is a streaming platform focusing on streaming and giving up on trying to be more than that.
The communities still exist and will find a new platform. Just over a year ago there was a sizeable chunk of Redditors that came to Lemmy. It’s happened time after time when a platform goes down. Communities are much more than just the platform they are on.
No every website does, but Crunchyroll should be.
And… Why is that?
Anime can be found on tons of streaming services that don’t have comments, like Netflix.
Anime in particular is pretty famous for having its own communities and niche spaces on the internet. If anything, Crunchyroll’s comments section seems to me like it’s unnecessarily fracturing those communities based on who watches on Crunchyroll vs other methods.
There are costs to maintain and moderate communities. It seems to me like that’s adding a good bit of cost to Crunchyroll’s business model in exchange a vlrelatively small value provided to a small percentage of their customers. Whereas with dedicated social media platforms, the business model revolves around and only attracts individuals who highly valued that community. With a smaller community like that, it’s easier to rely on volunteer mods (like most of Lemmy) or a bit of ad revenue.
Better have comments on Crunchyroll than make me go to R*ddit to find out if I missed something in an episode, especially as anime subreddits typically start permitting episode spoilers before the dub for that episode is out, so there’s often nowhere except the dub comments on Crunchyroll that’s safe to look for dub watchers.
Because stone cold says so.
All corporate social media has my permission to die
“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).
Most streaming services don’t have a ‘community’.
You’re a netflix customer, not a part of a community. There is no Netflix or Amazon, etc community.
YouTube has a community though.
See how that works?
have you seen literally any comments section lately?
Most comment sections under crunchyroll episodes are super wholesome and cheerful, people are mostly celebrating how good the episode was and how cool the next ones will be.
I meant besides crunchyroll… but are you trying to imply that they shouldn’t have done this or that their harmful content is not a problem that should be dealt with?
What, you can’t have war if there are no people?
There is no
war inBa Sing Se.
RIP. Aniwave and Disqus anyone?
nyaa has a comment section.
Better quality video too.
It’s better than aniwave? How do I go about googling such a common term and finding this?
They’re probably referring to nyaa si which normally has either decent webrips, Bluray rips once the show is released physically, and at times with list 3840p shows.
Comments section is kind of more to do with the specific torrent though.
Ahhh, that’s not quite the same as aniwave.
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.
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. 🤷
Harmful to Sony’s bottom line.
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 want to read comment sections on anime episodes, I must know what anime fans have to say” - statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
There have been several shows that I’ve watched on CR that have been made a lot better by being able to read the comments section. Either because it’s One Piece and there’s always one guy giving you the timestamp to skip the recap or because the series I’m watching is actually pretty bad and a bunch of people are making jokes at the shows expense.
It’s been rare that I’ve seen someone on CR be overly negative or toxic without getting shutdown fast. It’s usually pretty wholesome and fun.
Hey! I’m offended!
