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.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason

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!

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

I was recently interviewed by Eleanor Warnock regarding the exploitation of passion, the devastating impact of machine translation/AI on the localization industry, and how collective action can bring about positive change. www.eleanot.es/p/the-human-...

"And then, as everything AI started to slide down the long downwards slope of the hype cycle, my job came back."
This corresponds with the what colleagues shared at the AVÜ meeting last weekend. Anecdotal evidence, but it is a silver lining at the end of the hype tunnel.

"Machine translation hasn’t even improved with the advent of AI – contrary to the online hype, our industry never got its big OpenAI moment. I’m starting to suspect that we’ve been forced down this path by an unhappy coincidence of sunk costs and economic downturn."
TATM #4: There will be a happy ending, by Julian Pintat - Guerrilla Media Collective
AI-powered translation has failed to live up to its hype, and there are signs that the industry might be recovering. Is the bubble about to burst?
