Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.

[elbiotipo]

"as harmful as fossil fuels? don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?" the world's largest and most sophisticated surveillance networks that gather incomprehensible amounts of personal data to make profits technological companies who are the largest corporations on the world and shapers of public opinion often for the worse, all do it for advertising.

Cut the head, just ban advertising.

Why Don’t We Just Ban Targeted Advertising?

From protecting privacy to saving the free press, it may be the single best way to fix the internet.

[crazy-pages]

Local advertisting in limited quantities: Necessary, useful.

Deliberate production of informative content designed for spread by word of mouth (like video game teasers): Fine, useful, spreads based on actual appeal.

Submitting products to actually neutral and regulated third parties who evaluate product quality in hopes a product will be elevated and recommended as good: Very useful, noble even.

Branding, targeted advertisements, paying influencers, blanket saturation of every available space in ads: Fucking hell.

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

[studentofetherium]

it gets worse: funi had an option to buy anime outright. but, it was bought digitally, and now CR has said that they're not going to honor that, so if you bought anything from funi digitally, CR are taking that away from you

[lastoneout]

This is absolutely insane but the part that I find funny is that there isn't a community on earth more dedicated to piracy than western anime fans. For ages the only way to even get your hands on anime and manga in the west was piracy. I literally don't think Crunchyroll could have picked a worse group to try the "we're a monopoly so we can charge you whatever we want" play on. I doubt there's a person over the age of 25 who saw that and thought anything other than "welp, okay, piracy it is then!" like honestly the Crunchyroll executives are out of their fucking minds with this one.

[scifigrl47]

What I think a lot of new fans miss is that... there used to be rules.

I have now run anime cons for 20 years. I got into anime in the period where the internet was rising, and legal access to this stuff was sparse, and generally limited to the biggest titles. I bought Fruits Basket on four. Separate. DVDs. I got each ON SALE for around 20.00. I paid EIGHTY PLUS DOLLARS for 4 DVDs of Fruits Basket.

But most of my early access was on blank DVDs with names and episode numbers written clumsily in sharpie. Handed over by friends, traded at con meetings, mailed to me by a friend via media mail. Fansubs and bootlegs, torrented and copied endlessly.

But there used those be a rule. A covenant. Unbreakable. Once a property was licensed, all illegal distribution stopped. Instantly.

The last episode of Fullmetal Alchemist I saw involved Hughes in a phone booth. The series was licensed right after that, and all access stopped. Fansubbers closed their listings, torrents dried up.

Because the end goal was licensing. We wanted nice, physical copies. We wanted professional, properly coded subtitles. We wanted an English Dub cast. We wanted to make anime a viable industry in the West.

So we bought Fruits Basket for eighty goddamn dollars.

So as I reach bitterly for my DVD burner yet again, it's time to remember. We upheld our part of the bargain. We bought it legally from them. We paid to see this industry grow and thrive.

We didn't break the agreement. They did.

i love my little cousin to death because he’s at that little kid stage where he has absolutely no speech filter so i know EXACTLY what type of shit his conservative mom has been feeding him. kid pulled our other cousin aside and went “DID YOU KNOW ICARUS LOOKS LIKE A BOY BUT HES ACTUALLY A GIRL?” (he also has yet to master volume control) and it’s so fucking funny because his mom acts all polite and friendly to my face only for her son to instantly expose who she actually is. king shit. unintentional ally

[schlarklezyaoi]

TEARS IN MY EYES HE DID IT AGAIN. he essentially yelled out “whoever speaks first is a faggot” (bc their parents were trying to get them to be quiet so he decided to make it a game.) and his dad went to reprimand him for it and the little guy went “but you say it all the-“ before his dad cut him off by going “no, i’ve never said it” i’m obsessed with this little dude consistently outing how bigoted his parents are without even realizing he’s doing it 😭

[theunfairfolk]

the context for the first thing is that op is a trans person named icarus but i 100% thought it was some weird conservative conspiracy about a transgender icarus From The Myths and i was trying to figure out what part of the wing thing made them a woman.

there is truly nothing like waking up to learn that the CEO of this site has been posting through it and starting flame wars with individual users of his site like a whiny forum moderator from 2006. this dorkass goatee baby has a net worth of four hundred million smackeroonies and a section on his wikipedia about how he's a special boy for using a keyboard

[cheddar-baby]

heres my advice to any followers i have who are young. Don't delete things when you think you've outgrown them or they're cringy. If you make youtube videos just private them don't delete them. Save your files, you can bury them in multiple sub-folders if you think they're cringe now but DON'T DELETE THEM! It doesn't feel like it now but years in the future you will look back fondly at who you were and wish you still had those things.

We really do need to bring back the word "trolling" and warning ppl not to feed the trolls

[shamebats]

That TikTok of ppl pouring tomato sauce directly on the counter, adding spaghetti & mixing it with their hands while commenting how great of an idea it is? Yeah, we used to call that trolling, it's pathetic & bc all they want from it is attention, the best thing is not to give them any. Block & move on.

I keep seeing it on here too. Someone comments something outrageous on a post & gets dozens of ppl to respond, filling the entire comment section & making it unusable. And on Instagram, a comment saying "I hate colors" on a post of someone showing off colorful art gets 100 replies while positive comments get none. Congrats, you've fed the troll. Now stop doing it.

[shamebats]

Trolling used to get you banned from forums. Now they call you an influencer and give you brand deals & ad revenue. That's why it's more important than ever not to feed the trolls, especially in spaces where any attention is good attention and getting yelled at by 10k ppl in the comments counts as "engagement", boosting your troll post in the algorithm.

heard a story on a podcast that some Christian missionaries showed these rural Cambodian farmers how to double their crop yields. the missionaries came back a year later and were surprised the Cambodians had grown basically the same amount of crops but the farmers were like “yeah this is great, we got everything we need for the year and only had to do half as much work”

and if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the current North American work environment I don't know what will
