#Crunchyroll disabling/removing comments and reviews is yet another step towards #enshittification of subscription services.

They cite is for the safety of community, but we all know it is always a money issue. It costs them money, so they axed it.

Comments were the fun thing to share our experiences as a community. Why bother paying the same price when they strip their services down? People can go pirate #anime then. This is why competition is needed, not monopolizing services.

Edit: Bigots that have fueled and caused this ultimate decision are also and even more to blame.

In today's "be sure to own actual digital or physical copies of your stuff" news, Sony claims it's offering subs "appropriate value" for deleting their digital libraries.

NEVER rely on companies to keep stuff. They do NOT care, and your stuff will be gone.

You gotta do it yourself.

Grab it and put it on your computer or a thumb drive.

Funimation Digital Libraries Were Supposed to Last ‘Forever.’ Soon They’ll Disappear https://www.wired.com/story/funimation-digital-libraries-crunchyroll-disappear/

Funimation's digital libraries are set to disappear, raising concerns about the fate of anime content.

(1/4) Обратил внимание, что на фоне участившегося отъёма цифровых покупок (самое свежее: после слияния #Crunchyroll и #Funimation) всё чаще звучит мысль "никакой цифры, только физические носители!"

Кристофер Нолан вещает этот же тезис: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC25mKvYrTo

Некоторые ещё добавляют "…или пиратство!"

Будем честны, физические медиа это в любом случае шаг назад, на который массовый потребитель не пойдёт даже при таких злостных злоупотреблениях со стороны издателей.

Получается, выбор исключительно между возвращением в прошлое и преступлением?

Чушь. Вы никогда файлы не копировали? Ничего, что цифровые носители вообще-то сохранять проще, чем физические, и мешает это делать только #DRM?

Просто на рынке сложилась дихотомия между покупкой цифры с DRM и пиратством цифры без DRM. И вариант *между* ними стал едва заметен, потому что его мало кто предлагает, но он есть — покупка цифры без DRM. А мало предлагают его лишь потому, что DRM мало кого отталкивает.
