Great thought. Inline with this - I think the form of media changing has also changed the demographic of people who are drawn to produce it, and that reflects in the quality and ethics of the entire medium as a whole. In turn we have a society that rewards attention over the truth or what's right and wrong and only seems to continue to worsen day by day.

Everyone outraged at the companies while they are simply a product of the system. The outrage should be redirected to the system itself.

There should be outrage at both, but woefully it seems only a fraction of it trancends a company label.

I think we all understand capitalism is inherently flawed. I also think this a bit more nuanced than black and white.

The biggest issue with capitalism is that it rewards the people with no moral compass with power. In a broken system like this, no change will ever come unless people start to decide to do something about it. This comes in two forms: replacing the system, and reforming the system. Both of these require influence. The more influence a person has, the more change they can enact. And let's face if, we live in a system where money can directly be converted to power and influence (see our elections and politics as a whole). To make real changes you have to play the game, and unfortunately there are a lot more evil people playing the game than good. To try to skew that ratio in the right direction a little bit is a good idea in my books.

Seemingly not

Very enlightening comment, thank you!

Likely they don’t have the proper monitoring built out because management is deprioritizing it in order to move faster. I think most engineers across the industry are facing similar pressures to try to pump stock prices above all else. It’s a tale as old as the megacorp itself.

They clearly just need the funding, which is few and far between on tools like this and they aren’t in a position to be able to take a moral stance. Can’t say I blame them too much other than the co-branding idea.

Ah yes, because the passionate field experts are the lazy ones cutting corners, not management.

With the major issues with the big cloud providers these days as well as high costs, I’d say there’s a decent shot. Their investors certainly think so.

For real. It’s exhausting at this point.

So no issue hopping from new model to new model? Feel like every frontier company is doing this lol. Would be more alarming for this to not happen.

Do you use bazarr? That’s been the final fix for me with subtitles

I wouldn’t say altogether new as much as no longer nearly as optional.
