I agree. There’s an irritating trend in storytelling lately where characters are driven primarily by their trauma. It oversimplifies things.

Yeah I disagree with OP that people still using X to make a living are a part of the problem. But I do think that if they’re not diversifying the platforms they use to make it easier for people to move then they are.

It might seem like X is where everyone is but it’s relatively niche as social networks go. You can’t trust the metrics that they put on posts. When they rolled out view counts, people with newly created private accounts with zero followers were somehow getting dozens of views on their posts.

I always viewed Twitter and Facebook as analogous to AOL - walled gardens. Eventually people ditched AOL for the web, and I hope that eventually they’ll do the same for those dinosaurs.

All the more reason to give their following a chance to find them elsewhere, and to follow them there when they do. There are other options; ideally standards-based federated options not susceptible to hostile takeovers by unstable billionaires

Was this supposed to be a link to YouTube?

It should be on HIDIVE as it’s a Sentai license, but recently their content has been disappearing only to reappear weeks-months later. ANN reported on some of them and someone even made a list of the ones that were missing a year ago but I don's see Kids on the Slope listed there so I think it's a recent disappearance.

As for Crunchyroll premium, they’re phasing out free streaming if I recall correctly.
