As others have said, this is extremely one sided for the most part and makes the mistake of assuming fans are trying to be professional.

While he has a number of good points about crappy fonts, excessive uses of Japanese, horrible typesetting, karaoke effects...
For his example of san he used an example of a crap group who misheard ima-sara as misa-san.
He referenced many jokes which a prosubber has the requirement to put in liner notes. They don't have the option to put in a note even if they wanted to.
His I/You argument is completely off of his original point on honorifics.

His argument about why effects don't appear on DVDs is incorrect. (DVD sub spec is correct)
His argument about why effects appear is wrong. (Because they can and the retarded fans want them is the correct answer.)

He keeps repeating the same 15 or 20 examples over and over when there are hundreds of groups out there.

His "putting the sub where the sign is" argument is flawed for exactly the reason he names later. All of a sudden the viewer can read a Japanese sign? So much for giving the same experience.

Glad he has enough time to pick up and watch a few shitty fansubs to make comments on the whole. Some translator...
