Dear @justine_desmoulins , in life there are difficult periods that we have to go through, Viki is just that for everyone who regularly works on it, I would like you to give it a chance and stay on Viki because what we are going through there are also beautiful moments and especially a large selection of dramas that we can watch. Of course, there is a lot that I would change about the Viki, as would most of those who work regularly on it. But that will surely come later. So, be brave and wait a little longer.

in response to one above - no danger of this becoming DF (drama fever, rip) …for one thing, they’d actually have to pay everybody first. somehow I don’t think that’s likely to happen, though it would have supported many women here and given them something during yes, a time of war, unrest, pandemic, and upheaval. I believe it would have shown us all respect as well. certainly would have been something most fans have always thought was happening and never has…
this site is simply a tool used by the billionaire to further their other projects, nothing more.
once you see it for what it is, the past was left behind when the original people sold it…and the principles with it. use it to further your knowledge of languages, or to get a certificate for other purposes. to fill time, to support grieving, the many uses of this site now.
to those leaving or thinking about it: to consider leaving is normal. to do so, is less usual but understandable. a hesitancy in taking up new projects given the atmosphere recently is certainly evident among many veterans…
to all of us, leaving or not, I wish the very best of luck and health to you, may heaven and earth protect you and keep you through any difficulty, be safe.

Diva,
I totally agree with you. Viki, for many years, was a platform to spread love and share thoughts. Nowdays, it is just a platform to learn, to watch and things that can improve ourselves. Of course there are people trying to keep spreading the love, but as you said “the atmosphere” is different… What more can we do? Just help. Viki does our home, and everything good, at least for me. But right now… let’s try to keep it up, let’s continue spreading the love as we always do and just share thoughts as we always do as well. Of course is sad when someone is leaving but let’s persevere for those who are leaving or planning do.
I truly hope to everyone understand my message! Whether leaving or not… “keep smiling, keep shinning”. Friends are those who supports each other!
Thank you so much @anna79_9 & @justine_desmoulins. We’ll miss you so much!!
ขอบคุณสำหรับทุกสิ่ง!
Love y’all
Nat ^^

I’m looking forward to the auto translated only subtitles and how many customers will continue to subscribe when a majority of volunteers stops working for free

But Viki uses already paid subtitlers for some projects, these still need to be reworked, usually K-E and C-E. I’m sure auto-translation still needs a human to edit… just look at some assembly manuals (Anleitung) that are likely machine translated… they make at times no sense.

And look at some manuals and instruction booklets of Chinese and Japanese products. The English is incomprehensible, and who knows whether it was a machine or a person using GT.

Basically, for all projects that don’t already have subs from the content provider… Try finding an unsubbed show these days. If you do, it’s still waiting for the staff subs to be loaded.
Well… quality is not the main goal here.

We could write and lament the shift over time from what was, to what is, and what likely shall be here. Instead, I would like to again thank the OP for their work here and wish them the best, outside of this site and it’s continued descent. Those of us staying are museum pieces, no longer even labeled as the volunteers we are in reality. It is natural for artisans to persist in quality, and resist machine-work.

When GT is better than humans it’s time to worry.

@justine_desmoulins @anna79_9,
Je suis vraiment triste d’apprendre votre départ 
Il me semble avoir davantage croisé Justine qu’Anna sur la plupart des projets sur lesquels j’ai travaillé, mais je n’oublierai jamais vos conseils et tout ce que vous avez fait pour la communauté de traduction française sur Viki
Pour être honnête, je pense également à arrêter. Plus les années passent, et plus je me rends compte que le “nouveau” Viki n’est plus vraiment fait pour moi, mais que ma passion pour la traduction est toujours là (j’en ai même fait mon métier).
You will be missed girls

C’est avec grande tristesse que je prends connaissance de vos messages sur le forum, après un long hiatus. Peut-être ne vous souvenez-vous pas de moi, mais je garde de très bons souvenirs d’avoir travaillé à vos côtés lors de mes premières années sur Viki. Vous avez su me guider, m’apprendre à m’améliorer, rendre le travail amusant et créer une communauté sur Viki. Je ne peux que vous souhaiter le meilleur pour l’avenir !
Je constate les mêmes choses que vous, après tant d’années sur cette plateforme. Mais… je vous avoue arriver à davantage tenir le coup en participant à quelques projets. Vous avez su vous investir pleinement dans cette aventure, et vous avez été plus que présentes pour représenter la communauté des bénévoles francophones. Je vous remercie pour votre travail et j’espère que vous vous souviendrez longtemps de nos belles aventures ici !
Bien à vous,
Ally

Why would she? By now, circumstances on Viki have gotten even worse than before she left. The real question is, "why are we still here? "

Someone mentioned her like she was talking to her, so I thought she was back here at RViki.

You and many are here for the LOVE you all have grown to have for your work as a volunteer to this site. To tell you the truth; a lot of these sites are disappearing, and the only one holding on so far is Rviki. Enjoy it while it last. Make the best of your time here and like you always Do give it your 100% best like you always do, and always will. Be proud of yourself that’s all that matters.
