    Remind me of that time the CCP edited the Fight Club ending to not have the bombs go off and have Durden and his gang be arrested by the police.

    America is really just an oligarch run version of the CCP.

    According to some YouTube commenters it’s been gone for at least 11+ months. Not sure when they removed it. Is it the entire intro text, or just this one specific part?

      That whole intro text is gone. I just checked myself to verify. It’s legit gone. You just see the brown paper background and no words are shown.

      Yeah, this isn’t censorship, too much work, much. Simpler ways to censor.

      This looks like an international version of the video, which would normally have forced subtitles in the local language… But it doesn’t have that on the English version, probably because they assumed the English version would have the original video.

        No. You did zero research and are spouting NONSENSE. The removed text is very stylized old English. It’s not “captioned on”.

        You should be seeing what looks like a manuscript. You are seeing something someone took the blur tool too.

        You are 1000% wrong.

        Literally go watch it on YouTube vs Amazon and see the difference.

        Here’s a reddit discussion with the video instead of just a still image:

          I’m not talking about the original English version of the film having captions. I’m talking about the stylized English being removed so that other languages can caption over the entire screen and still be legible without having multiple layers of words on top of each other.

          Clearly you don’t intend on having a civil conversation from the beginning though, just commenting from the beginning like a classic redditor.

            Lmao like a redditor? I don’t recall insulting you personally and I provided a source. You’ve just been here insisting you’re right because you say so and made a personal attack. Who’s the redditor? That’s cute. Trying to change the topic with an insult. I’m sorry, but that sounds a hell of a lot more reddity

      The ones who might have that thought aren’t questioning it. They just might not want to use the words.

    Just checked on Prime, on my account in the US. This is true.

    I can barely see outlines of lettering but nothing legible.

    Also had to watch 3 minutes of ads before playback started - for a service I pay $150/yr for.

    I had an instagram comment removed for highlighting that Besos ordered his bodyguard to cut his hand with a glass David Blane was eating.

    If you are a billionaire, you pay for an army of people to watch your virtual back as well as your physical back.

      We’ve arrived at the dystopia that we were warned explicitly against, REPEATEDLY, by MULTIPLE SOURCES, both fictional and VERY REAL. We failed all our tests and will have to live the rest of our miserable, short existences with the knowledge that we could’ve stopped all this from happening, but we didn’t.

    Could it just be a subtitles issue. I find streaming services are terrible in general with placing forced subtitles for the language the audio track is in.
