to cheer you a bit the reason why I follow you for your news discussion is because you are more neutral. you actually check if theres a real reason to attack a company instead of just attacking all the time. too many channels does that...
Exactly. Both CR and he may hate one another, but he is willing to research before calling a spade a spade. This is one of the reasons I watch this channel.
Thank you for saying that. It always feels weird having to defend something people want to hate. But again, I do feel a lack of pointing out REAL problems will lead to no changes.
@ yup, there are real tangible issues, more so in this anime industry with how animator are treated because even the studios have difficulties paying for their project that are mostly invested by external companies that themselves not even get sometime enough to pay for the expenses... that whole industry has so many issues people choose to avoid while screaming lets pirate everything like that is going to help anything...
I'm pretty anti-crunchyroll at this point too, but the leaked passwords were so clearly not Crunchyroll's fault I find it insulting how many people are assuming they're the problem here. The passwords are all pretty simple, with none of them being the kind a password manager would generate (20+ random characters with no logic). If this was a random sample, I would have expected a few of them to be complex... None of them were. The leaked passwords were all, and this is important, EASY TO REMEMBER. The kind of password someone makes once, then uses virtually everywhere. This was most likely done using passwords leaked elsewhere, and the leaker just tried the same combo on a bunch of streaming websites, then leaked the ones that worked as some sort of punishment. He even calls out people responding to his post with spite! This was a targeted attack done against whoever was using this guy's software. I hate Crunchyroll. This wasn't on them. Put the blame where it belongs. Crunchyroll responded to the situation correctly, by forcing password changes on all the accounts that were compromised. As a side note, this style of attack is known as credential stuffing, and you can completely avoid being a victim by never using the same password in different places.
Well generally when you have a leak of many passwords the source is what the passwords are for, rather than a collection of end users all being hacked.
@@xoso599 I would accept this for random commenters, not for influencers. I expect a little more due diligence than that from people with an audience they could be deceiving. Boosting incorrect information helps no one, and in more serious situations, can cause actual harm as well. Had said influencers been willing to look past the Crunchyroll hate, good advice could have been provided, such as ensuring none of your passwords were used on multiple sites.
yea, this is why i have my important accounts (i.e. banking and such) use a different pass/email combo. That way if my unimportant stuff gets hacked/leaked my more important stuff is fine. I'm not a fan of password managers for two reasons; one being having to find and type a long password to watch a show at a friends' house, and two if someone got the password to my manager then they have all my passwords ;( im more of a fan of passphrases than anything. But all that is for naught if you download spyware lmao
And thank you for it, my feed is constantly filled with clickbait from multiple youtubers that turns out after reading for 5 maybe even 10 mins it is a load of rubbish
Preach man! Nothing stays online forever. Hell! I recently discovered some Looney Tunes episodes have been changed to private. Along with some streaming services removing my favorite TV shows and movies. Meaning I can't watch them anymore! However, if you have a DVD or Blu-Ray copy, it's yours forever! And no company can take it away from you.
Thank you for the reliable, accurate information! I always come to your channel for accurate information over others who misinform and clickbait for virality.
If anything it should be the user's fault for using the same password for all of their online accounts and services. That's like building a sand pyramid upside down in Minecraft using torches to support each block of sand and expecting your younger sibling to not break the bottom block that is currently preventing the entire thing from collapsing.
I also have this problem when having to defend Activision, EA and Ubisoft, I fucking hate these companies for what they are doing to gaming, and gaming conservation but I have to defend them because people are focusing on the wrong fucking thing to be mad about.
This is why I'm often skeptical about new information, weather it's positive or negative. Cause anyone can jump to conclusions about something, then shift blame.
Question I have a blank screen every time I try to watch any episodes, I still see subtitles and hear noises but the vid itself doesn’t show up, is that a problem for anyone else who uses the app.
I kind of figured it was another Sony leak; they do have a history. Figured changing my password wasn't that big of a deal, but I'm glad it's not even that bad.
Looking at some comments even under this video, you realise how easy it is to spread misinformation. Come on! at least watch the video before commenting! People partially read a title but already have their opinions and are not here to get informated. They just want to express their hateboner no mater the facts.
Rare win from an internet dude who actually does his research. There's why too much misinformation and click-bait these days, makes it hard to even wanna listen to too many people
Thanks for taking the time to research stuff and not clickbait. That's why I follow you. You are always neutral and calm in the topics you discuss, and are far more knowledgeable about anime and anime related topics than most other youtubers (which is why they have to clickbait). Most importantly though you explain things thoroughly and are informative for your audience which I always appreciate. Thanks again for the video.
What's the alternative then for this type of content in North America? Just finished with HiDive (watched everything there I wanted to), and while I still buy DVDs I was thinking of signing onto Crunchyroll.
The TOS change happened within a day or two of the leak. By itself this automatically proves they're entirely unrelated. Or are people who think that also thinking that Sony can actually react to things that quickly? Especially something that would need multiple reviews and signoffs by lawyers?
crunchyroll is annoying. But HiDive superior?!?! LMAOOOO My watch list on there is full of stuff I already watched that it wont let me clear out. The calendar for new releases sucks. I have to go look at the history page to see where I stopped watching something because the "Continue watching" doesnt work. And that just the website. Dont get me started on the apps on various devices. It's trash
Sentai Filmworks is HIDIVE's operator. Sure distribution may have decreased, but they'll only end production when RLJ Entertainment (Sentai and RLJ are both child companies of AMC Networks, remember) stops running off discs. DVD production had ended some time ago, as most minor studios (All except for customers of Studio Distribution Services) aren't interested in DVD production however.
@@entropybentwhistle I was getting an error after typing the new password but wasn't getting an error message... it just wasn't saving the new password
Sony Pictures bought Funimation, then bought Crunchyroll off Warner Bros. Sometime after the purchase, Funimation's HQ was just renamed to Crunchyroll, explaining quite a lot of the "Funi business" going on at Crunchyroll (except for the slow website updates, that was there since the website became relevant).
When that whole thing happened, Sony already owned FUNimation but bought the Crunchyroll company and killed it. The Crunchyroll company died after Sony bought it. After Crunchyroll's company was dead, Sony made the FUNimation company change its name to Crunchyroll. FUNimation still existed, but it changed its name to Crunchyroll. After the FUNimation company changed its name to Crunchyroll, they shut down the FUNimation website and moved their shows over to Crunchyroll's website. It took me a little bit of time to wrap my head around it... but that's what happened.
There are so many ways to get email password combos it’s not even funny. You can get list of 100s of million of combos. Just a matter of trying them on different sites. (Which a bot can do easily) Don’t use the same email password combos over and over. That’s what gets 99% of people in trouble. (Next is using a simple password that even when hashed is to easy to break. A hard password even if leaked it’s unlikely to be broken)
Even if they had been newly added it wouldn't have been a big deal since the lost accounts weren't due to a data breach or hack. So it was the users own fault, BUT THEY'RE NOT EVEN NEW. I should have known, why am I not surprised that CR hate is just made up nonsense.
How do I uphold my part of the contract to secure my information when CR a party I have no control over has that information? The language is legal BS that protect them not the user. If you lose your information it's your fault get wrecked. If they leak your information, well computer security is hard. At least CR doesn't have anything someone can transfer and steal. But true you can't blame the company for everything every time.
1. Don't use your password anywhere else. 2. Don't share your password with anyone else. 3. Don't use software that might steal your passwords. It doesn't matter to you that they have it, because if they leak it, it doesn't affect any of your other accounts, and they're required to tell you about it. What you're at risk for is leaking your accounts from your own actions, because that could affect multiple accounts (depending how it happened).
@@Mirality The contract obligates me to protect my account information. It doesn't limit my obligation to simply things I control. I have a legal responsibility to take steps to protect my account information on computer system that they control. Oh you think that's nonsense? Remember that Disney tried to use/did use, someone agreeing to the TOS for Disney+ to indemnify them for damaged when they killed a man at a Disney theme park by not disclosing the allergens in food they served him after he stated his extreme allergy risk to them. Literally used the TOS for a streaming service to try to block a civil suit for killing someone.
Regardless of what the TOS says, they are legally responsible for damages that occur if they leak your info. This part of the TOS just exempts them from getting in trouble if they accept valid login info that someone else gained in a different way.
It is kind of funny how many just want it to be true, it’s all so tiring. But there’s only one or two anime channels I watch because there’s just so much nonsense & clickbait, I can’t stand clickbait. I watch more manga channels, I notice a lot more problems seep in with anime compared to manga.
@@entropybentwhistle I did, and I still stand by my point, if people don't wanna deal with Crunchyroll's nonsense no matter how old it is in terms of the TOS's bullshit, people should just stop using it.
Well this is good for me because I don't even use their services, I knew they were a goofy company at the beginning anyways and they are even more goofy now which is amazing.😂

When I made my crunchyroll account I made sure to use a dummy email and pw. I do not trust a company that used to be a pirating website 🤷

Should use a password manager anyway so breaches don't affect you.
