And the Spotify ceo just stepped down so he could focus on weapons systems for Israel. The people running all of our media services are Nazis.
Fascism is the natural end stage of capitalism. Plenty of businesses that have no core connection and competency with the military are embedding themselves into the military. For now, most of the US top brass loathe the Trump administration, but eventually they will be replaced by loyalists. We might get a real life Enclave if something isn't done to rid the fascists.
Lol. Crunchy roll was always crap. Watching anime in the raw is torture.
When property is valued over people, piracy is protest. Pirating undermines a system that guards profit while neglecting humanity. Every download is a refusal to accept laws that protect wealth over well-being.
Enshittification, everyone. It comes to everything.
As far as I know we don't even have fansubs anymore, any group nowadays is just a rip of whatever streaming has the anime, current anime if it's not picked up by any streaming will get no subs, the streaming giants were successful and embracing it and enshitifying.
The problem here is that all these major anime providers are owned by Sony, so you're kinda fucked if you want to boycott them.
Did you read the article - or even the title? This story is about people turning to piracy, not turning to another official source.
You're not fucked if you have The Pirate Bay. :-)
Anime's on tpb now? Fuck me i just use #transformers
Have you been living under a rock?
I live under a rock apparently!

Animelab died for this
The whole “calling out Israel for genocide means you’re antisemitic” line is so worn out and honestly just exhausting. Israel has spent like 4+ decades trying desperately to associate criticism of israel with antisemitism.
I’ve been boycotting Crunchyroll for years, and I’m not stopping anytime soon.

I would very much like a streaming service that makes it transparent what it actually spends its income on.
Like - a streaming service where i pay $10/month and 90% of that goes to the studios/artists that actually produce the anime? I would take that.
But right now i'm worried that i pay $10/month and 90% of that goes to the shareholders of the streaming provider as "profit" while the studio gets almost nothing.
Yeah... sweet summer child you might not want to read Chokepoint Capitalism. It's closer to 99% for BigContent lawyers and right holders and less than 1% for actual creators.

All the streaming services are unethical now, both in pricing and operation. Netflix is maybe the least bad, but I can’t justify the cost for that, either.
Stremio + Torrentio is the way to go.
What happens next is like what happened in the 2000s. People will turn to piracy as legitimate content is no longer feasible, affordable, or ethical. Then the corporate oligarchs will crack down violently to make examples of the people they’ve given no other choice or recourse.
It’s time to eat the rich.
Netflix charges me, a single guy, for 4 simultaneous streams if I want 4k. So I shared with my parents.
Then they had the audacity to stop people from password sharing or to charge even more if you want to share. I set up an automatic email forward so my parents get every sign in related email.

Corporations can't stand it a logarithmic graph. They need freaking geometric progressions, and then they do stuff that gets them an anti-logarithmic graph.
Greed kills
why not just pirate shit without a noble cause for once? You know - the old fashioned way
Old Fashioned Pirates were poor people treated like shit by their society lashing out at the system of oppression.
give it a couple of years and it would match just right
