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!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Mike Johnson: “We order in food because we just don’t have the time or luxury of cooking.”
LOL. “Luxury.”
Says the speaker, when so many Americans can’t afford groceries, much less the expense of ‘ordering in.’
Poor guy.

We're partway through the new Defunctland video and the really striking thing to me is how every new Disney CEO went, "What would Walt do?" and their answer was, "Cut costs and never try anything new," when what Walt ACTUALLY did was spend ridiculous amounts of money on his own weird obsessions

I don't think Walt Disney was a particularly good person or even a very good artist, but he WAS very willing to spend a shitload of money to develop art and technology to chase his impossible dreams and THAT'S what made Disney actually innovative and interesting.
