The one where the company that bought Crunchyroll gets to dictate who runs the resulting merged company.

Asking people to pay for a luxury (as opposed to a necessity) product/service is not exploitative at all. As a consumer, it may not be a business model you are willing to support, and you have every right to complain if you don't like it, but "exploitative" is the wrong label.

Not sure how this is relevant. (Not saying it isn't, I just don't understand your point)

I think they're trying to upgrade to a flying aircraft carrier. Remains to be seen if it ever gets off the ground, and if it does, will it stay in flight, or will it crash & burn?

While I don't know why he is leaving, I don't think it's anything like this. Colin was the architect of Funimation's mergers and acquisitions. Speculation: He may feel that he has completed his project and be moving on... |
This is what I think too. It seems he was positioned to facilitate the merger, but perhaps not for long term leadership.

Wouldn't call him new or unfamiliar with the business or anime in general. |
Yeah, this looks pretty promising since fortunately this guy has seemingly been working in high positions at Funimation and CR for a while.

I'm just wondering what Gen Fukunaga's role is in all of this, is he gonna become CEO of a unified Crunchyroll/Funimation company, or will they keep the two companies separate and he stays as CEO of Funi?

He left his position 3 years ago and became a board member or something similar

So, the people who took over Funimation when Sony bought it have now taken over Crunchyroll. I wonder how many of management or admin from five years ago are still working at either location. They should have renamed the combined organization with one of those meaningless titles most corporations are using these days.

It’s been a year since we last got some backlog dubs. We also have some incomplete dubs. Plus we also saw Crunchyroll running away from using their outsourced studios. Crunchyroll has been running away from doing backlogs. If anything Mr. Rahul Purini needs to be fired as Crunchyroll President. He’s doing nothing about the lack of backlog dubs. Purini needs to be fired. After a year waiting and still in this same crap? No thanks enough is enough

Leadership changes can often bring new perspectives and strategies to a company. It will be interesting to see how Rahul Purini will steer Crunchyroll moving forward and what changes, if any, this will bring to the company’s operations and its relationship with employees and fans alike.

Leadership transitions are pivotal moments for companies, and many eyes will be on the impact of this change in the anime streaming industry.
