Answerman - Why Don't Simulcast Subtitles Get Corrected?

If memory serves, he already had spoken about that, and the gist is that they often do get the scripts, but what's in the script and the actual finished product aren't the same thing. Changes can, and frequently do, get made at every step of the production process.

Though it means less money to be made, fewer simulcasts can mean better QC. If I ran a legit CR-like streaming site and it had 150 people under the pay roll, I think 5-8 seasonal shows (to start out with) means that more quality control might be assured.

Which in itself is odd because speedsub groups had plenty of errors in their releases. So even for fansubs, there was always a you can either take this release asap knowing it was rushed and thus more error prone or you can wait for that other group to release it in 4-5 days.

I don't get what you mean, the only thing different about softsubs is they aren't burned into the video and can be toggled.

and if everyone is using the same player provided by the people who are doing the subbing (ex crunchyroll player) then if its viewable for one its viewable for all

Out of that group, even fewer actually care and from that group, only a micro percentage care enough to actually have a loss of trust.

The thing is, paid streaming is only worth the money (and barely, at that) because it is a one stop shop. If the average viewer had to pay fees to multiple outlets in order to watch all the shows they're interested in, they'd say "to hell with it" and pirate some or all of what they'd otherwise get from the one stop shop.

They're not incompetent, just rushed. Even the best professionals make mistakes when really pressed for time.

Then we have the kids like bs3311 who has shown, throughout this thread, that he has no idea how things actually work in the real world (I think he even alluded to still being in school, which explains a lot)

If you're so interested in spewing rhetoric/ad hominem, then let me speak mine. I already graduated with my 2yr AVP degree (recommend I work on projects before I get my bachelors), and I know my sources from interviewers and convention staff that speak to these people and inform about deeper inter-workings within the industy. But whats really questionable is you possibly dissing the higher schooling system? which is like? Going to prep you for the real world? Who's the kid here that doesn't know who or what he/she/they is talking about?

Probably you, since that simple paragraph is riddled with grammar errors.

Which is ironic, considering the topic.

Wonderful.

Common user gives af about a user's grammar on a press website.

Doesn't give 2f for professional grammar for subs when it comes to Japanese cartoons.

Keep em coming

Oh, I'm sorry. Were you also under time constraints when typing your ignorant responses?

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hit a nerve making you post back to such an, "ignorant response?"

No, you didn't.

I'm sure the irony is lost on you, though.

Replying at all explains otherwise, quit hiding it. You poor thing.

So, that's a yes.

more kindergarten screw ups like this = hilarity = loss of trust = less viewership = less money.

The Ace Attorney games for example have grammar errors every game and yet Capcom hasn't lost any trust or any money over it.

Frankly, I don't get bothered by subtitle errors in simulcasts unless they're really egregious, like a line missing, badly out of sync, an incorrect character being referred to,

I still get a kick out of watching an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh and seeing Joey's name come up for some weird reason.
