It does seem pretty perceptible. So that eases things up for me. They must've put a lot of work into ironing that out, though. What a jump.

Those sites seem nice enough, but my character reading is WEAK WEAK. I'll try to look at it more often bit by bit as I study more. But I'm grateful since can serve as good language training for me :)

The best way is human learning most of the time, though I understand not everyone has the time/patience.

Inversely, though, a language with few speakers has little power to cry out, since it's a smaller market. I'll guess that's what happened to Japanese and Korean.

As for translations, machines can be very iffy. I always try my best to know at least a bit of the language I'm looking into. It's extremely easy to botch/falsify a machine translation, especially if it's a language with many versions and dialects. The more widely spoken it is, the easier it gets.

At least there's that to look forward to, I guess. The best standard of quality is a community that doesn't compromise and actively looks for what it truly likes and respects, instead of waiting for someone to tell them what to like. I like that about the indie side. No filter. You just write...

Frustrating to read, and audiences get tired. Chinese political control only damages media in that same way, geez. This kind of thing can either lead to audiences tiring and giving up, or becoming braindead NPC's. But only time can tell that.

Sure, they're not 'censored', in the classic sense of the word, but they're all curated to be similar and chase trends and target audiences, thus become extremely samey and boring.

I see. If everything is contantly under tight control, though, eventually all the works and movies will look and sound the same. The same person is controlling them, thus there is no true variety. I'm not all that well-versed in Chinese-specific media, but just look at current woke Marvel comics...

Strange, isn't it? It's like respect for art and free speech is slowly vanishing everywhere. In places like China, though, it must be even stronger considering the way I see authors and their creations being treated there. Like, geez. Why would you do that? Why would you try to ruin someone's...

Well, thanks. I don't think I ever heard about this one in full.
