Afra Saraçoğlu and Mert Ramazan Demir tension shakes Yalı Çapkını as ratings decline
ALBAWABA - "Yalı Çapkını" faces a crisis as rumors swirl around Afra Saraçoğlu and Mert Ramazan Demir.
In spite of the enormous popularity that the Kingfisher series "Yalı Çapkını" has had since its debut, the work is currently going through one of its most challenging crises because of the divergent views of the public regarding the rumors that surround its stars.
The situation became more complex when the work's heroes, Afra Saraçoğlu and Mert Ramazan Demir, canceled each other's social media follow-ups in response to these rumors.
According to observers, the series' existence is in jeopardy due to the recent drop in viewing and the proliferation of allegations about Afra and Mert's betrayal.

Some people think that the two series heroes were purposefully banned from following one another on social media in an effort to get viewers to start watching the show more frequently.
Given the series' widespread appeal both in Turkey and beyond, producer "Onur Guvenatam" has wagered on its enormous success from the start, which was actually realized in the first seasons. However, because of the series' strong international sales, which continue to be a significant source of revenue for the production, it appears that the producer is not ready to stop the series before episode 100, even if audience ratings have been steadily declining.
Backstage tension, brought on by betrayal rumors
"The Kingfisher" had more than a drop in viewership. The set was tense due to rumors that Afra Saracoglu and Mert Ramadan Demir had split up because one cheated. According to reports, the two actors' growing friction indicates that the current crisis is more serious than previous ones, which could have a detrimental impact on the work's continuity.
Given these tight circumstances, questions started to arise about the series' future. Will the crew be able to put aside their personal grievances and make the commitment to film the remaining episodes? Or will the series' creators decide to abruptly cancel it before episode 100 due to the tensions?

NieR's Yoko Taro: AI will make all game creators unemployed in 50 years
Published April 30th, 2025 - 10:57 GMT ALBAWABA - Japanese director Yoko Taro, best known for working on titles such as NieR: Automata, sparked widespread concern on social media after predicting that AI (artificial intelligence) will cause game developers to lose their jobs. In an interview with Famitsu, Yoko Taro and other famous Japanese game directors, such as Kotaro Uchikoshi, were asked about the future of adventure games. Both Taro and Uchikoshi raised AI as a subject of concern, as reported by IGN. While Uchikoshi still expressed his interest in creating new games, he feared AI-generated games would become more mainstream. Additionally, the director added that AI still struggles with "brilliant writing" and lacks creativity, which humans still excel at. On the contrary, NieR's Yoko Taro predicted that AI might take over game creators' jobs in 50 years. ＡＩ予想。補足すると、・ＡＩで一般の人が全員クリエイターになる。・クリエイターでは食えなくなる。・でも作りたい人は食えなくても作る。 という感じなんだけど、僕の未来予想はほとんど外れるので気にしないでいいです。 — yokotaro (@yokotaro) April 30, 2025 In a new post on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter), Taro responded to IGN's post about him claiming that AI will "turn ordinary people to creators" and that it will not be possible to make a living as a creator in the future. Moreover, he did add that all these predictions should be taken with a grain of salt since they "are almost always wrong so don't worry about it." Many artists already fear AI taking over their jobs across various art forms such as drawing, music, voice acting, and many more professions. Several also take to social media daily to protest against the creation of AI-generated content. ChatGPT recently sparked outrage after one of its users generated himself alongside his family in Hayao Miyazaki's iconic studio Ghibli art style. Many artists called the trend "disrespectful" to Miyazaki's career as a beloved artist and director. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
